bootstrap oddity

I just got the following output from 

$ ./bootstrap
./bootstrap: Bootstrapping from checked-out hello sources...
./bootstrap: consider installing git-merge-changelog from gnulib
./bootstrap: getting gnulib files...
Submodule 'gnulib' () registered for path 'gnulib'
./bootstrap: getting translations into po/.reference for hello...
receiving incremental file list

sent 34 bytes  received 652 bytes  1372.00 bytes/sec
total size is 295770  speedup is 431.15
./bootstrap: updated po//home/rrt/repo/hello/po/.reference.po...
cp: cannot stat `po/.reference//home/rrt/repo/hello/po/.reference.po': No such file or directory

(and then it continued, fine). But it seems to have constructed a bogus filename on the way.

Hi Reuben,

I suggest you run "bash -x ./bootstrap >& log".
Then, if you look in the log, you can determine how that bogus-looking
name was formed.  Once you know that, I'll bet you can even suggest a patch.

Thanks, I think that worked. Patch sent separately.
