Fixed, thanks!

The original string in src/enquiry.c (assert_version_support) was wrong
depending on how the function was called, as other values could be used
instead, but weren't. I know that the current string "epoch" is less
than ideal, and it should get fixed at some point when we review all
current strings. At the time of the commit I thought about using
"working epoch support", "working long filenames support", etc,
instead, I guess that might be better.

That's one of the reasons I didn't really want to update the .po files
yet. Take a look at the thread starting at for some discussion about
this:
