This patch adds the functionability to smartly identify origin commit
of the translation by matching the following patterns in commit log:
1) update to commit HASH
2) Update the translation through commit HASH
If no such pattern is found, script will obey the original workflow.

I’ve tested this script, and the new origin commit tracking functionality is working effectively—it can reduce the number of commits requiring updates. Dongliang Mu > > Thanks, > > jon >
