Subject: [PATCH 3/3] sha1-name: mark get_oid() error messages for translation
Date: Fri, 24 Jan 2020 19:13:01 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200125001301.GC567109@coredump.intra.peff.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200125000542.GA566779@coredump.intra.peff.net>

There are several error messages in get_oid() and its children that are
clearly intended for humans, but aren't marked for translation. E.g.:

  $ git show :1:foo
  fatal: Path 'foo' is in the index, but not at stage 1.
  Did you mean ':0:foo'?

Let's mark these for translation. While we're at it, let's switch the
style to be more like our usual error messages: start with a lowercase
letter and omit a period at the end of the line.

This does mean that multi-line messages like the one above don't have
any punctuation between the two sentences. I solved that by adding a
"hint" marker like we'd see from advise(). So the result is:

  $ git show :1:foo
  fatal: path 'foo' is in the index, but not at stage 1
  hint: Did you mean ':0:foo'?

A few tests had to be switched to test_i18ngrep and test_i18ncmp. Since
we were touching them anyway, I also simplified the ones using i18ngrep
a bit for readability.

I'm on the fence about whether the resulting message is clear enough.
Certainly we could just mark them for translation but leave the
capitalization and punctuation as-is.

I actually think _both_ of those lines could be considered hints. And
something like:

  hint: path 'foo' is in the index, but not at stage 1;
  hint: did you mean ':0:foo'?
  fatal: unable to resolve object name ':1:foo'

might be better still. But I suspect the text in that final "fatal"
could be better if done by the caller of get_oid(). So that takes me
back to my earlier suggestion that get_oid() should actually be
collecting this hints as it runs and making them available to the
caller. I punted on that for now, though.
