Ah yes, a truly unexpected xmas present.  I remember.

So, if i understand correctly, the idea was to put translations
into STABLE and release 2.12.1 from it.  No bugfixes or other work,
unless possibly something very important.  Possibly that happened,
I deleted the old stable branch, but it looks like 2.12.1 also
was released from master.

I do know that the subsequent fixes for 2.12.2 that went into
master, were never cherry-picked into stable, and the stable
branch was essentially not used.  Not a big problem, but
let's do it right from now on :-)
