Vim.pot in the repository gives noisy diffs

[Christ van Willegen]

Hi,

Since Christian added the vim.pot file to the repository, the Patch mails have become noisy, since translatable strings in ``version.c`` are shifted by 2 lines for every commit. 

Would it be possible to change the position of the "included patches" array such that those strings remain in the same place?

I noticed this too so I tried this out briefly yesterday, but
unfortunately I couldn't make it work by moving the included patches
variable below any translatable line, so that incrementing the patch
number wouldn't cause this.

Perhaps it's possible to drop the comments about the line specifically
for version.c so that it doesn't need to be updated every time?

Thanks,
Christian

Let me try to filter out changes from version.c explicitly. This should
make the diffs cleaner again.

Thanks,
