Actually, I do not know enough of gettext to judge if this change
would have
unwanted side effects.
I don't either...
Since it is a workaround, I wonder if we can limit this fix to
MacOSx only or
upgrade gettext? But as I said, I do not understand this very well.
The queston is not to upgrade gettext, because the bug is not in the
version that we ship
(the translation code), but in the gettext utilities that people use.
So developpers should
be advised to have a recent version of gettext on OS X.
Personnally, I hav no problem with my 0.18.1 from macports.
I would vote for removing the workaround in trunk and advise
developers to update their
machine in the relevant INSTALL file (and maybe give the workaround of
overriding
MESMERGE_UPDATE on the make command line). I dislike adding too much
code for working
around bugs, because this code will stay, and I suspect that some
people like this backup thing.
