So far, no one reviewed and sent comments for ja.po to this list.
OTOH some people in Subversion-jp list members <subversion-jp@m.bluegate.org>
looked over the file and gave me some comments.
( Japanese list archives: http://arch.bluegate.org/pipermail/subversion-jp/ )
Reflecting those comments, I modified ja.po considerably at r10468.
Should I ask those people to give comments on this list,
or recruit those who can review and modify ja.po in the repository?

I have another question.
ja.po is a new file created after the branching branches/1.1.x.
Of course it innately contains some new messages added in the trunk tree,
which are not contained in the release branch.
So, if I am allowed to merge ja.po into branches/1.1.x,
I want not to copy it to the release branch directly,
but to make the file conform to the source code of branches/1.1.x
with running 'make locale-gnu-po-update' before adding to the release branch.
Is this operation allowed?

Thanks,
