The dgit source package contains dgit and git-debrebase.

Translation organisation:

  po/messages.pot	all messages from both dgit and git-debrebase
  po/LANG.po		translations of those
  po/mo			output directory, do not look here

  po4a/			documentation (TBD)

Important make targets for translators.
NB all of these are after "cd po/".

  make <LANGUAGE>.po	Create <LANGUAGE>.po so you can start translating,
			or update messages.pot <LANGUAGE>.po.

  make all-po		Updates messages.pot from all the sources,
			with new messages, and merges them into
			all the language-specific .po files

  make check		Update everything and then check everything
			and print translation statistics.

The en_US translation is slightly special.  It is used for testing the
translation machinery, and since the source native language is en_GB,
there is not much other need for the en_US translation.
