This issue is real for packet maintainers who can patch the original source and run their own set of utilities outside of a git repo. This can be possible with Junio's proposition by writing the files to a temporary directory before running the xgettext, then removing the temporary directory. Please note that with respect to this issue, the patched xgettext approach is completely disruptive. > 2. do not need to run `git reset --hard`.

Git made a great case of relying on standard tools (not even GNU versions), so that would really go backward. Plus, I hope that some day, instead of translators finding afterwards that a change broke i18n capabilities, developpers would have some kind of sanity check. Requiring special versions of i18n tooling stops this hope. begin:vcard fn;quoted-printable:Jean-No=C3=ABl AVILA n;quoted-printable:AVILA;Jean-No=C3=ABl org:SCANTECH FRANCE adr;quoted-printable:Savoie Technolac, BP244;;34, All=C3=A9e du Lac d'Aiguebelette;Le Bourget du Lac;;73374;FRANCE email;internet:jean-noel.avila@scantech.fr title:Embedded Systems Manager tel;work:+33 479265450 tel;cell:+33 633046418 x-mozilla-html:FALSE url:http://www.scantech.fr version:2.1 end:vcard
