Hi Alex,

There are a couple of small issues with the patch below. If you iterate on it, here are some small suggestions:

In the unabridged v3, you cleaned this up by marking it for translation and also lowercasing the first letter of the sentence. That was good.

If you iterate on this, could you create a preparatory patch before this one that gives the same treatment to the other strings in merge-base? I count 8 instances of die() being called in merge-base so I think that the cleanup shouldn't be too arduous.

If we have a preparatory patch before this one, this patch will mostly be pure code movement which would be nice.

Yeah, we should fix these strings in the next iteration.

nit: use double-quotes instead of single-quotes to surround both the test case name and the actual code itself.
