unneeded backported strings in kget (libbtcore)

Hi,

on November 2nd someone backported some strings to stable for kget in
kdenetwork.


#| msgid "Redirected without a new location."
msgid "Redirected without a new location !"


#| msgid "Torrent is incomplete."
msgid "Torrent is incomplete!"


#| msgid "Corrupted torrent."
msgid "Corrupted torrent!"


Then some context and a placeholder change.

Is that necessary? The new strings came through an svn:external so I do not
know whether someone noticed what the action would result in, but the
changes are not only minor but going to the wron direction as well, given
that coles works hard to proofread stuff and whereever possible get rid of
exclamation marks.

Regards

That's a problem we've warned a lot of times but kget and ktorrent developers
don't get their act to fix it, kget uses part of ktorrent and since ktorrent
is not subject to KDE releases it can cause those sort of things, not much to
do unfortunately.

Ah, I see. Well, the external seems to point to a tag, so it should be
possible to hold it there during a release cycle. Well, it's just a few
strings so no big deal... if they weren't a step back. :/

Well, thanks anyway. :)
