But this would be wrong. It is absolutely not the original message tried to say. Any file can contain unresolved conflicts (markers). The point is: this particular file very likely does.

While I like this one, it is not much better semantically, than the previous with punctuation corrected. So unless there are more votes for it, I will not resend the translation. Cannot forbid you from doing this, though (and personally would like to see a name of another native russian speaker in the authors of translations).

"Supposedly file "...?
