Well, no I checked it. I don't think there is anything I have in my own 
version. Just now when I commit I get always the patch about adding this 
README.de to my own git -- how do I remove this commitish ie. undo the 
whole thing?

I liked the idea and structure of the new file. Myself also forgot the 
mention of git status which is defenitely very important. Seems I have 
to check the part with the check-translation.py myself -- there is a lot 
of mistakes about wrong commitish numbers and then it finishes with a 
mistake (so I think it doesn't do the job till the end). I will see that.

Do I now understand right that when problems emerge the git pull will 
save files under different names (or insert the problem signs, as you 
had it) and then you have to change them and make git update-index on 
the very file (this was in a message to Daniel T C. today). I think this 
is also an important remark, these kind of difficulties will probably 
appear to the beginner especially often. At least for me, if I changed I 
file that was already there and made the commit nothing happened. If I 
would git add it, then I get the mistake that the file is already added. 
Only with update-index I had success. But this might also be that my 
version of git is so old...

So this update-index was the only thing I find still somehow important, 
despite Johannes S. thinks it is not a good idea.
Well, might be that there were also some problems whith me and that add 
will work in the future.

I noted you can issue the git command anywhere, and patches will be 
always put on top. I don't know if this is so important as to mention.


Like the new README! Thanks
