[RFC/PATCH 0/5] git-glossary

More and more people use Git in localised setups, which usually means mixed localisation setups - not only, but also because of our English man pages.

Here's an attempt at leveraging our current infrastructure for helping those poor mixed localisation folks. The idea is to keep the most important iterms in the glossary and translate at least these.

1/5: generate glossary term list automatically from gitglossary.txt 2/5: introduce git-glossary command which helps with lookups 3/5: introduce git-glossary.txt, the man page for the command 4/5: git.pot update 5/5: sample de.po update

Without 4/5 and 5/5, a few terms from the glossary can be translated already by coincidence with localised messages from some git commands.
