When I use LF format, the source :

Here we have the meanings of some terms used into Git context.
These terms were entirely copied from
[Git Glossary](http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/gitglossary.html).

generate :

msgid ""
"Here we have the meanings of some terms used into Git context.  These terms "
"were entirely copied from [Git "
"Glossary](http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/gitglossary.html)."
msgstr ""

If some one don't know markdown grammar, or are careless, they will
drop the extra
space when translation. So I suggest generate two strings instead of one:

msgid ""
"Here we have the meanings of some terms used into Git context."
msgstr ""

msgid ""
"These terms were entirely copied from [Git "
"Glossary](http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/gitglossary.html)."
msgstr ""
