[bug #64490] xgettext-0.22 makes --join-existing less useful

[Bruno Haible]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #64490 (project gettext):

Note that there are two other ways to combine xgettext invocations, that don't
produce this warning:


xgettext -o part1.pot a.c
xgettext -o part2.pot b.c
xgettext -o all.pot part1.pot part2.pot


and


xgettext -o all.pot a.c
xgettext -o all.pot --join-existing b.c


You may wonder: what is the difference between this last recipe and what you
did? The difference is the suffix of the output file. If the suffix is ".pot",
xgettext avoids the warning regarding CHARSET. In your report, you used
'--default-domain=bfd', which is equivalent to '-o bfd.po', with suffix .po,
not .pot. A subtle difference.
