[egit-dev] Translation of reflog messages?

["Lay, Stefan" <stefan.lay@xxxxxxx>]

Do we need to externalize reflog messages?

 

We proposed a change to externalize all translatable Strings in egit.core (http://egit.eclipse.org/r/#change,332).

It contains code that writes to the reflog, for example in BranchOperation:

 

RefUpdate u = repository.updateRef(Constants.HEAD);

u.setRefLogMessage("checkout: moving to " + refName, false);

 

Is this message subject to translation? Or maybe only part of it, namely the name of the git command “checkout”?

Are there tools which parse the reflog message and rely on standardized texts?
