I tried with several files that were valid for dockbook-4.3 and I always
get the same error...

1- I create a pot file, after editing the xml file.
2- I create the po-fr file.
3- I commit
Some days after, I "svn update". The revnumber in the xml file is changed.
4- I run make po-fr : the msgid "$Revision: xxxx $" is changed and the
item is marked as "Fuzzy"
5- svn status lists the po file as "M"...and there you have it!

If I run "make pot" for all xml files, it's worse: I have a huge commit
with all the po-fr, that I have not time to edit. So I have to create
pot one by one.

Good! Too many problems with this minor question. I'll remove the
<sect2info> tags
