Dear Paul,

thanks a lot for applying the i18n patches to the gitk master at 
git.kernel.org. This looks all fine, except for one mistake that slipped in: 
The character encoding of the newly added po/de.po translation was messed up. 
The file must be in UTF-8 encoding (and I submitted it this way), but the one 
that ended up in the repository is in ISO-8859 encoding.

Could you please do 

  recode latin1..utf8 po/de.po

and commit the result? Otherwise a simple "make" will fail, because when 
msgfmt tries to "compile" the de.po it rightfully complains about the file 
not being in valid utf8, although the po file header claims "Content-Type: 
text/plain; charset=UTF-8".

Thank you very much.

Christian
