Texidoc translations of snippets

[Phil Holmes]

As promised a month or so ago, I'm delving into makelsr to try to make it 
more translator friendly.  I'm starting with the little project Graham 
suggested - why does it add a new line when run locally?  I can answer that, 
but first my other discovery and question: it's very sensitive to the 
formatting of the texidoc files.  Have a look at

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/lilypond.git/tree/Documentation/de/texidocs/changing-the-size-of-woodwind-diagrams.texidoc

and compare it with any other texidoc: you'll see missing spaces around the 
= sign, and excess lines at the top.  Look at

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/lilypond.git/tree/Documentation/snippets/changing-the-size-of-woodwind-diagrams.ly

and you'll see the result - the German translation has been added by makelsr 
over and over again.  This is a bug in makelsr, but in the short term I'd 
like to correct the texidoc files.  Can I do them myself and push to 
staging/master, or do the translators need to do it to keep their repos up 
to date?  If the latter, I can supply a list of offending files - it's only 
a few.

As to why we get the extra line - it's a side issue of a different makelsr 
bug.  If you run makelsr against the tarball, it puts all the translations 
in the right place.  If you run it locally, new translations are put above 
the lsrtags entry, and any subsequent local run puts a blank line under 
lsrtags - I'm guessing it's a side-effect of the wrongly placed translation.

I'm now looking at makelsr to work out how to fix those bugs...
