Unlike whatever controversy we're having over git-sh-setup being removed
(see <cover-0.9-00000000000-20210902T155758Z-avarab@gmail.com>[1]), the
git-sh-i18n's gettext() and eval_gettext() can't be useful to anyone out
of git.git's tree, since they accept strings that are expected to be
found in git.git's generated *.mo files.
So it's certainly possible that someone's used out out-of-tree, but that
use of eval_gettext() won't have been doing anything useful in terms of
translation, and if it did that would have been because someone copied a
to-be-translated string as-is, and expected git.git to keep it
byte-for-byte the same as their sources.
Anyway, if you don't want to squash this in I can submit it as some sort
of follow-up, perhaps along with some of the suggestions in
<62fbd389-28f5-76e5-d3f3-5510415a7bf5@gmail.com>[2] if you're generally
aiming to keep the changes here to the depth of the first callstack,
i.e. remove the --preserve-merges use of a foo(), but not a foo()
function itself if that foo() then becomes orphaned as a result.
