Other than this issue I've been testing it and it seems nice.
Personally I'd like a config option for a locks directory but this is
a feature request, not a bug report.

Git is cool.  I've been personally using "git svn" for this task.
Upstream on svn or git doesn't bother me either way.

FreeBSD has
http://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/editors/nano/files/patch-doc_man_Makefile.in?view=co
http://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/editors/nano/files/patch-doc_man_fr_Makefile.in?view=co
http://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/editors/nano-devel/files/patch-doc_man_nanorc.5?view=co

Its been a while since I've asked looked at these to see if they still
apply upstream or are non-specific to FreeBSD.
I think at least the first two should apply upstream.

Other patches outstanding (lacking an ack) from me.

I didn't verify these patches haven't been applied yet.  Sorry.

Other outstanding issues that don't relate to the code:

http://www.nano-editor.org/dist/v2.2/faq.html#1.6
has the wrong version number

I believe I also saw some older patches from Mike Frysinger but he is
in a better position to say whether they still require an ack:

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/nano-devel/2011-11/msg00008.html
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/nano-devel/2011-11/msg00010.html
