Makes sense.

Perhaps it would make sense to send these as a separate patch, since
they are simpler than the rest.

The summary arg comes from one of a few places:

 (a) [deleted] etc from print_ok_ref_status, which you marked
     with N_ (good)

 (b) deadbe... from status_abbrev via print_ok_ref_status.  Can we
     avoid passing it to gettext()?

 (c) [no match] etc from print_one_push_status, marked with
     N_ (good)

I am tempted to suggest something like

		const char *localized_summary;

		if (*summary != '[')
			/* Leave abbreviated sha1 from status_abbrev() alone */
			localized_summary = summary;
		else
			localized_summary = _(summary);

but that's kind of ugly.  Is there a simpler way?  Should the summary
arg be passed in already localized (with 'porcelain' handling higher
up)?

Thanks,
