I have started the job, and I reckon its done 7/766 files in 15 minutes.
So reckoning on 2 minutes per file, that’s looking like 25 hours,
ie completing Thursday evening.

I’ll commit the state of affairs tomorrow morning and report
on how many its done.

Just carry on working as is. We can sort out any few cases of conflict by hand
(assuming no-one is making global changes?  are they?)

Here’s a good example of a small change made just
to make life miserable for translators:

-  <desc>contains letters, words, or phrases inserted in the text by an
-        author, scribe, annotator, or corrector.</desc>
+  <desc versionDate="2013-04-13" xml:lang="en">contains letters, words, or phrases inserted in the source
+  text by an author, scribe, annotator, or corrector.</desc>

It would help my piece of mind
if someone reviewed Utilities/addDateToGlossDesc.sh		
and Utilities/addDateToGlossDesc.xsl to check my logic
