I check to ensure that every translated file has a line containing:
Original revision: 1.2.3.x
with the last version of the English sources it was synched with. Then
one can use scripts to check:
a) If a $FreeBSD$ line exists in a file.
b) If an 'Original revision: ' line exists.
c) What the proper path of an english translation in the repository
would be. Here's where the CVS/Repository and CVS/Root files can
help a lot.
d) The latest english revision can be checked out with `cvs co -p'
and it's RCS id extracted in a script.
e) A simple comparison of the 'Original revision' and the RCS id
from step d) is enough to know if there have been changes.
Then manually using `cvs diff' for the revisions Original -> Latest of the
english file, one can patch the translated text. This is where the
requirement that whitespace changes and content changes are separated in
different commits really shines... It makes things SO much easier :-)
