Yeah, probably... Another thing I just noticed: your file does not have
the special "#, python-format" comments. But don't worry, they will be
added automatically the next time you run a

  % msgmerge --no-location -U i18n/it.po i18n/hg.pot

with an updated hg.pot file. They will help ensure that there aren't any
string formatting errors waiting. A made-up example would be a
translation like this:

  msgid "acl: %s not enabled\n"
  msgstr "acl: %d non abilitato\n"

which will crash Mercurial at runtime when the string parameter cannot
be formatted with the "%d" format specifier.

Great -- just test the translations in a normal 80 character wide
terminal and you'll see any problems immediatedly.

I also had to look three times to notice it... :-)
