Do you have any plans for when to merge the i18n series?

It's been cooking for a while now, and it'll need a lot of follow-up work (gettextizing) once it gets merged.

I don't have infinite time to do that, so sooner rather than later would be better if we're going to e.g. have a fully localized Git 1.8.

I haven't been sending these follow up patches due to the reasons I already cited. They're pretty much guaranteed to conflict with other things in-flight.

If you're not comfortable with merging it soon for whatever reason then perhaps I could submit something to add a no-op N_() macro to Git in the interim. Then we could just do s/N_/_/ on the source tree once the real series gets merged.
