This Makefile uses the template provided at git.git/gitk-git/Makefile
by Junio and adds the rules for the i18n files.

This patch is against master of git.kernel.org.
@Paul: Ignore my previous patch - "make install" didn't 
work there, but it does here.

I see somwhat funny spacing there.  I'd suggest giving up
aligning with spaces and consistently saying "var ?= val"
instead.

	I am reading the diff between the gitk-git/Makefile
	before and after merging gitk with your patch and
	the last three lines above are not context but additions
	from my point of view.

This is cute and correct (except I would have spelled "true" as
":" myself).  I think we need to fix a few such constructs that
use ";" instead of "&&" in Makefile in git.git.

I have a mild dislike against uninstall target, but that's
Paul's call.

And this makes me wonder if the last token should be $(ALL_MSGFILES).

Other than that, Ack from me.

Thanks.

I made those lines all have one space before and after the ?=, and
committed Christian's patches (plus one from Gerrit Pape), and pushed
it out.  Please do a pull.

Paul.

There were a couple of things I noticed that made me somewhat curious:

 * There are more spaces around ?= in Christian's patch to Makefile.

 * You have two patches from Christian and one patch from
   Gerrit; the author and commit timestamps of these commits are
   the same and in your timezone.

but nothing to complain about.  Pulled and pushed out.

I applied three patches since last pull from you and pushed the
result (pure gitk part) out in gitk branch:

	master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/git/git.git/ gitk

Could you please pull?

```

Sorry, this was a very ill-behaved pull request.  The patches
picked up from the list I applied are these three:

Charles Bailey (1):
      gitk: Fix the Makefile to cope with systems lacking msgfmt

Christian Stimming (2):
      gitk: Fix typo in user message.
      gitk: Update German translation.

```

I get:

error: no such remote ref refs/heads/gitk
fatal: Fetch failure: master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/git/git.git/

I was going to ignore this one since "descendent" is actually a valid
alternate spelling, and is the one I am used to.  However, I don't
have a strong feeling about it.

Paul.

My bash history tells me that I only did push --dry-run.  Stupid
me.  Sorry about the noise.

I agree with you that both are valid spellings, but when I
received 9e5d87d49070fe0463040e826824d6ce41beb089, I consulted a
couple of dictionaries and descendant seemed to be more widely
used.  Besides, I think the german translation update depends on
it ;-).

Anyway, I pushed it (this time without --dry-run) to

    master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/git/git.git/ gitk-for-paulus

Sorry, and thanks.

Descendant is a noun, whereas descendent is an adjective. Though like
many such distinctions, the two forms increasingly are used
interchangeably.

In the dictionaries I consulted before proposing this patch, "descendant" was 
the *only* valid spelling. I checked http://dict.leo.org/?search=descendent , 
(on paper) Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary (1998 edition). Now when 
looking up http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/descendent your original spelling is 
also mentioned as a variant, but as the other dictionaries didn't have it, I 
assumed this should rather be changed.
