Updating translation committishes
At the beginning of each translated file except PO files, there is a committish which represents the revision of the sources which you have used to translate this file from the file in English.
When you have pulled and updated a translation, it is very important to update this committish in the files you have completely updated (and only these); to do this, first commit possible changes to any documentation in English which you are sure to have done in your translation as well, then replace in the up-to-date translated files the old committish by the committish of latest commit, which can be obtained by doing
git rev-list HEAD |head -1
Most of the changes in the LSR snippets included in the documentation concern
the syntax, not the description inside texidoc="". This implies that
quite often you will have to update only the committish of the matching
.texidoc file. This can be a tedious work if there are many snippets to be
marked as up do date. You can use the following command to update the
committishes at once:
cd Documentation/LANG/texidocs
sed -i -r 's/[0-9a-z]{40}/NEW-COMMITTISH/' *.texidoc
