For longer bits of text (paragraphs), translators will often wrap/flow the msgstr in a way that is helpful or meaningful to them (eg. wrapping the English to 70 columns, then wrapping the translation so that each line corresponds to the English line.
msgmerge has a few flags to control how it flows text: -i, -w, --no-wrap, et c. However, there is no way to tell it to leave indentation and flow alone.
