Mark plural string for translation using Q_().

Although we already know that the plural sentence is always used in the
English source, other languages have complex plural rules they must
comply according to the value of MAX_REVS.

Not sure this one will be easy to localize. The verb is passed as a
parameter : see line 366 "list", line 426 "add", line 517 "copy", line
658 "show", line 816 "merge", line 908 "remove" or line 595 with argv[0].

If all the verbs are real subcommands, then the translators should be
warned that this is some english twisting, but that they need to refer
to the subcommand on the command line.

Otherwise,

"Change X to lowercase" is fine, but "Lowercase" is not a verb.

Reword it to "Downcase the first word...", perhaps (not limited to
this step).

That is technically correct, but I do not think it matters, as we
won't be making bases[] array smaller than it currently is, so the
"more than %d bases" part of the message will always be in the
plural form and never be singular.

Thanks.

I would think the contrary for the same reason as 14/14 

We don't know the actual value of MAX_REVS at the time we translate, and 
plural forms can be quite different depending on its value. See for instance 
polish:

https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/Plural-forms.html

Of course, too bad, we only use one of the forms but I don't see any 
alternative.

Thanks,

JN

Yes, these verbs are git notes subcommands. I will add a Translators
comment to it explaining so. Or we can unfold that error messages like

if (!strcmp(subcommand, "add")
	die(_("Refusing to add notes in %s (outside of refs/notes/)"),
ref);
elseif ...

else
	die(_("Refusing to %s notes in %s (outside of refs/notes/)"),
subcommand, ref);

This is more verbose but translations would benefit from it being more
natural. What do we prefer: (1) concise source and a little unnatural
translations or (2) verbose code and natural translations?

Compare, imaging that English is a target translation language, the
user would read:
"Refusing to do add of notes in /path [...]" (1)
"Refusing do add notes in /path [...]" (2)

Lowercase is a verb [1] meaning to print or write with a lowercase
letter or letters. Knowing that can the commit message be kept?

This would be counter productive to use the inject strings as keys just to 
test them just after.

Having one sentence per action is cumbersome, but avoiding sentence lego is 
mandatory for proper i18n. How about  just adding quotes around the subcommand 
and warn translators ?

I think that is a sensible way to go.  I do not think it adds value
to "translate" the action names that needs to be typed verbatim in
the message.
