Please consider this scenario for translators (I prefer "developer's" 
point of the view for po files handling):

1. I'm working (as a transaltor) with ll.po file.
2. In the meantime someone (the package maintainer) updates "my" ll.po 
file in CVS.
3. My work with ll.po is finished. I'm about to commit the ll.po to the 
CVS.
4. I'm performing `cvs up` for whole module and there is a conflict 
with my ll.po.
5. This conflict IS NOT HARD to resolve.
6. cvs backups my copy of the ll.po (it's named, say '.#ll.po.1.30')
7. Peform this command sequence to resolve the conflict:
     rm -f ll.po
     cvs up
     mv .#ll.po.1.30 ll.po
     intltool-update ll
     cvs ci ll.po

Now, all is ok. Translator is happy, developer is happy :-). There is 
no problem.


Thanks.
