s/Indentation for/line-wrap/, perhaps?

What the patch wants to do makes sense to me, but I haven't seen a
long multi-line string, each lines in which is terminated with "\n\"
in the source, fed to N_() macro anywhere else in the existing
codebase, which makes me a bit nervous.

Would writing it this way instead, i.e. making it more obvious where
each line begins and how long the indentation of subsequent lines are,
also work?

	N_("git show-branch [-a|--all] ...\n"
           "                [--current] [--color[=<when>]] ...\n"
           ...
           "                [--no-name ...");

Or does it break N_() macro?

Thanks.

No it doesn't breaks N_ macro. Will resend the patch.
