This issue is real for packet maintainers who can patch the original
source and run their own set of utilities outside of a git repo. This
can be possible with Junio's proposition by writing the files to a
temporary directory before running the xgettext, then removing the
temporary directory.

Please note that with respect to this issue, the patched xgettext
approach is completely disruptive.

Same as before.

Requiring patched tools is really breaking collaboration. Git made a
great case of relying on standard tools (not even GNU versions), so that
would really go backward.


Plus, I hope that some day, instead of translators finding afterwards
that a change broke i18n capabilities, developpers would have some kind
of sanity check. Requiring special versions of i18n tooling stops this hope.
