And i18n would automatically mean this will not work, no? There is
no guarantee that the translation of "warning: " will be followed
directly by the translation of "tag.sort has" without any words from
variable part in all languages.
After all, it seems to me that the one in
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/253346
struck the right balance among various abuses; let's use the error
reporter from that version, instead of going down this rabbit hole.
Thanks.
