Makes sense, should I send this as a standalone patch, after applying
the suggested changes?

Hmm, when I read your snippet I thought that because this is a small fix
it wouldn't be bad to include the internationalization in the same patch
(with a "While we are here ..." note in the commit message). But are
there other reasons why it is better to do this as a follow-up step?

And that's easier to read too. Thanks!
Also, in a following patch, should we make chmod_pathspec() return `err`
so that we can do:
exit_status |= chmod_pathspec(&pathspec, chmod_arg[0], show_only);
and have the chmod error reflected in `add`s exit code?
