Many GNU projects that omit autotools-generated files from their version
control also omit the .po files (for example, coreutils, tar, m4, ...),
provided that bootstrapping the package from a fresh checkout includes
obtaining canonical .po files from the translation project. Versioning
the .po files tends to create a lot of churn, particularly when
developing, since the line numbers within the .pot file change, and
therefore every single .po file is updated and has a spurious merge
difference in relation to the patch at hand. Is it worth changing
findutils to also omit .po and related generated files from version control?
