r78013 removes key 'december' from MessagesDe_at.php, but on de.wp the message [[de:MediaWiki:December/de-at]] is not updated to the fallback.
The sync has work for other messages like [[de:MediaWiki:Htmlform-submit]] (r78138)
It is possible to update the message to the fallback, when it is removed from Message.php? Thanks
Version: unspecified
Severity: enhancement
You have to unset a message key, when the key is in the $compare_messages (because it is in the default Message*.php or the cache from previous updates), but not in $base_messages (because the key was removed from svn). With an unset of the message key the fallback of MediaWiki should work.

Sounds like this shouldn't be too hard, taking this bug.

Right...
There's a difference though between the message being deleted from trunk completely and only being deleted from one language (in the latter case, that's meant to trigger the fallback). So if a message is removed from the language we're processing but still present in English, I think we should remove it from LU too, and keep it otherwise. Sound about right?
Needs testing, if still a issue. Some changes to LocalisationUpdate was made in past month/year.
