I understand it.  It is probably my fault, to be unable of explaining
it more clearly. _I_ am sorry.

Right.  Use your commit, don't look for another old commit.

Mmm... the commit that appears in the log of a texidoc file is NOT the
commit of the latest makelsr run which was made from that texidoc
udpate.  You edit the texidoc, then run makelsr, this will make
changes to Documentation/snippets with your new strings, commit this
and that is the commit you should put in your texidocs.

I will apply it [when at home] and let's see.

I think that as long as the docs compile, your translations are there
and up to date, and we have not too many warnings, it is enough
headache for a translator what you have done.  Remember that a
so-called fatal error caused by a bad object is not really fatal. It
only means that you will not be able to track this file's recent
history in an easy way.

If you eventually reach an acceptable status in your texidoc
committishes, you'll find that doing a frequent "makelsr + commit +
retouch texidoc committishes" sequence is something you can get used
to and worries will become fewer and smaller with time.

Thanks for your time.
