Re: [PATCH] proper indentation in merge conflict menu

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Let's slow down and think about this carefully.

I'm not sure r31600 is a generally applicable solution. After all, a
translation might be longer instead of shorter.

Instead, perhaps we have to write multiline prompts in a way that allows
translations to work regardless of word length. I don't think counting
characters is the way to go, unless there's no other solution.

Do you know of any other places in Subversion that have this problem?
