OK, so I tried a conversion with the it.po hack I showed before; not
trying to fix any of the other instances yet, but just see what happens
with the 8.4.3/8.4.4 case. It's definitely better:
* Marc's 8.4.3 tag commit is now the last ancestor of REL8_4_3, and the
previous commits in the branch are earlier ancestors. No more 8.4.3
as a stub branch.
* it.po is shown as added, not modified, in Peter's 8.4-branch commit
of 2010-05-13.
* The cherrypick additions of xml2.out and xml2.sql no longer reference
it.po too.
But we're not quite there yet. What I find for it.po is these two
commits, which immediately follow the addition of it.po on the main
branch:

The first of these is the made-up deletion commit that I patched into
it.po,v. But why are we getting the "manufactured" commit anyway?
Max, is this what you expected to happen? Can we do better?
