Please give a self-contained example, possibly using GNU hello if you
like. What cvs operations were done by which developer in which order?

I cannot find a Makefile.in.in in the mc CVS at
http://cvs.gnome.org/bonsai/rview.cgi?cvsroot=/cvs/gnome&dir=mc/po
and I'm not going to debug its 'update.pl' and 'update.sh' scripts,
because they are not part of GNU gettext.

With the Makefile.in.in from GNU gettext >= 0.11.3 it doesn't, in my
experience.

bug-gnu-gettext is injected into the bug-gnu-utils archives.

You are the first to report a CVS conflict with PO files.
