A note for translators in date.c is not included in git.pot. Namely, the following note from date.c:147 is not included (https://github.com/git/git/blob/v1.9.2/date.c#L147):

/* TRANSLATORS: "%s" is "<n> years" */

This is a very useful note for translators (in fact, I think the zh_CN translation for date.c:149 might be a little off because this note was not included. My Mandarin is rusty, but I believe "<n> years, <m> months ago" should be expressed without a comma).

According to po/README, the l10n coordinator is responsible for updating the git.pot file. Would it be possible to update it based on v1.9.2 and include the above comment?

By the way, I am trying to organize contributors to produce a Japanese localization for Core Git. Currently we have plenty of interest but only two contributors. If you or anyone you know would like to contribute please visit the repository here: https://github.com/modocache/git-po-ja

Thanks!
