Does anyone know why we version-control this generated file?
No, please don't remove it. The reason why we version-control this
generated file is because the Makefile in that directory is not under
our control (but instead gettext's) and it doesn't contain any rules for
creating that file. The gettext setup assumes by convention that this
file exists and doesn't need to be generated, so as long as we use the
gettext build system in the po directory, we need to follow that
convention.
I thought there was some reason, I just couldn't remember. Instead of
reverting, I'll commit a stub po/POTFILES.in explaining why the file
is in SVN. Then maybe we can set an ignore property for it.
Err, what does a stub help here? The point is that people (and maybe
translators) run "make" and expect that the gnucash.pot will be
correctly built. This is only achieved if there is a ready-to-use
po/POTFILES.in in SVN, IMHO. This is what gettextize conventions are, so
we have to stick to that. I don't understand how else you try to achieve
this.
