translation issue with r28368

Dear Karl,

The above use of _ and of a compilation-time dependent macro is not a good
idea for the translation. I'm not sure how best to handle this...

# ../libsvn_repos/reporter.c:168: warning: Although being used in a format
# string position, the msgid is not a valid C format string. Reason: The
# string ends in the middle of a directive.

On the other hand, I think that it is very unlikely that this error will
be ever raised, so the translation is not really needed. :-)
