But my understanding is that the reordering using printf() is the
mechanism we suggest l10n folks to use when the order of parameters
given to printf does not match the preferred word order in the message
in their language.

It's documented in the gettext manual, and seems to be used in the
zh_CN.po to change the word order in quite a few places.

It is fine to use %n$ in translated strings as long as gettext is enabled
only on systems that have a sufficiently capable printf and these formats
are not used in the source code.

But you can't have this string:

  "Splitting a commit while rebasing branch '%2$s' on '%3$s'."

neither in the template nor in the translation, because the numbers must
begin at 1 (and must be used without gaps).
