Hi,

I took on the task of creating a project for the translation of man-pages at https://github.com/jnavila/git-manpages-l10n

Up to now, the translations have started for 3 languages:
* German (2 pages)
* Brazilian Portuguese (6 pages)
* French (11pages)

In order to provide feedback to translators, it's time to have these pages included with the distributions of git. Right now the process of compilation of the man-pages is still a bit off-tree, because it relies on a recent version of po4a (v0.56) which has not yet reached most distros.

I miss expertise in the process of packaging. Depending on the type of distribution, the route to packaging might differ (for Mac OS and Windows, maybe a direct inclusion, for Linux dists sister packages). That's why I need your help to correctly perform this integration.

Thanks in advance,
Jean-Noël
