[PATCH 00/10] Factorization of messages with similar meaning

This series is a meager attempt at rationalizing a small fraction of the internationalized messages. Sorry in advance for the dull task of reviewing these insipide patches.

Doing so has some positive effects:

 * non-translatable constant strings are kept out of the way for translators
 * messages with identical meaning are built identically
 * the total number of messages to translate is decreased.

I'm inclined to even go a step further and turn these messages into #define or const strings. This would have the added benefits:

 * make sure that the messages to translate are identical
 * create a library of message skeletons to be picked up when new messages
   are needed

What do you think?

Jean-Noël Avila (10):
  i18n: refactor "foo and bar are mutually exclusive"
  i18n: refactor "%s, %s and %s are mutually exclusive"
  i18n: turn "options are incompatible" into "are mutually exclusive"
  i18n: standardize "cannot open" and "cannot read"
  i18n: tag.c factorize i18n strings
  i18n: factorize "--foo requires --bar" and the like
  i18n: factorize "no directory given for --foo"
  i18n: refactor "unrecognized %(foo) argument" strings
  i18n: factorize "--foo outside a repository"
  i18n: ref-filter: factorize "%(foo) atom used without %(bar) atom"
