I think this is probably a typo (on the original), and carrying that forward will probably result in what was not intended.

The original has the {} and "". I don't know if this was intended (it will keep the quotes).

The translated version, will result in a literal string [mc "No commit information available"], and unless it is explicitly eval'ed later, it will not result in the translated string.

So, if the quotes need to stay in the string, then the translation will have to be:

  set commitinfo($id) \"[mc "No commit information available"]\"

Or, if the quotes are not needed:

  set commitinfo($id) [mc "No commit information available"]
