I only spotted it because the string is new for translation. But the
previous version was already playing sentence lego. So this is not a
regression ;-)


If I understand correctly, getting a i18n friendly string would require
being able to "color_sprintf" the branche name, and then "color_fprintf"
the output with a %s formatting string. None of this is already
available and that would introduce cumbersome logic in the code.


More generally, i18n puts some pressure on coding style for sure, and it
gets worse with multi-platform and coloring... how can we ease the
burden of developpers on this front without resorting to ad hoc patches?
