New description:

 makemessages requires that one of three flags be passed to specify locales
 for message building: `--locale` to explicitly specify locales,
 `--exclude` to specify locales to exclude, or  `--all` to build message
 files for all locales.

 When non of these flags are present, the command doesn't show any errors
 for the user. According to the source code, it should raise
 `CommandError`, but that never happens because of a bug in an `if`
 statement that checks if a locale has been specified.

 I've already fixed this in my fork and have submitted a small PR.

 Please point out if there are any other necessary steps to move this
 forward. Thanks!
