It is quite annoying that some of the more common error messages, the
svn: invalid option: --gurgle
kind, are entirely untranslatable because they are printed directly by
APR which does not have any concept of translation at all. (This was
reported before but met with silence: http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2008-05/1445.shtml)
It is not easy to fix it in a clean way; ideally, APR would return a
detailed error code together with the required string parameters, but
it doesn't. Even if we did change APR to that effect, it would be an
incompatibility requiring a new APR version for use with Subversion.
This patch, instead, installs an apr_getopt_err_fn_t, acting as a
replacement for fprintf. It is admittedly a hack, but quite a
localised one -- it doesn't foul up any other code -- and does not
have any negative effects that I can think of. In short, it should be
a strict improvement.
Should APR's getopt error strings change, all that will happen is that
they are shown untranslated, just like any other translated strings.
