I do not mind Chinese in the patch text (i.e. below), but I would have preferred the above not to be in Chinese, which I do not read---I can guess what 文件, 添加 and 删除 are, and I can also guess that 个 and 处 are units of counting, but nevertheless...

I haven't decided what to do with this, though. If we are going to get tons of l10n patches[*1*], it may make sense to have a separate clone of git.git, with possibly a maintainer other than myself, forked at v1.7.9 and updates _only_ files in po/ hierarchy.

Let me think about how to manage the l10n patches a bit.

Thanks for a patch.

[Footnote]

*1* Ah, another thing, shouldn't the title be labelled as l10n instead of i18n?
