When running make from a clean environment, all of the *.po files should
be converted into *.msg files. After that, when make is run without any
changes, make should not do anything.

After beffae768a (gitk: Add Chinese (zh_CN) translation, 2017-03-11),
zh_CN.po was introduced. When make was run, a zh_cn.msg file was
generated (notice the lowercase). However, since make is case-sensitive,
it expects zh_CN.po to generate a zh_CN.msg file so make will keep
reattempting to generate a zh_CN.msg so successive make invocations
result in

    Generating catalog po/zh_cn.msg
    msgfmt --statistics --tcl po/zh_cn.po -l zh_cn -d po/
    317 translated messages.

happening continuously.

Rename zh_CN.po to zh_cn.po so that when make generates the zh_cn.msg
file, it will realize that it was successfully generated and only run
once.

True, and it is not just that.  The install target would fail
because it cannot find zh_CN.msg, I think.

This would make this in line with pt_{pt,br}.po, existing locales
with country code in them.

Paul, I've applied this to a clone of gitk locally and merged it
(resutling in 2a4ac71ffb that should be reachable from 'master'), as
it was breaking my "install" tests.

Thanks.
