Depending on the number of messages, it might be better to leave it up
to translators (if it's a small number of messages, so that we avoid
possible conflicts, and re-appearing mis-translations).

OTOH, it's best to do:
  cd ~/cvs/e-d-s/po
  intltool-update -p
  for i in *.po; do
    msgmerge -C ~/cvs/evolution/po/$i evolution-data-server.pot $i
  done

This won't create those translations that exist in evo but not in
e-d-s, so you'd also need to do something like:

  cd ~/cvs/evolution/po
  for i in *.po; do
    if [ ! -f ~/cvs/e-d-s/po/$i ]; then 
       cp $i ~/cvs/e-d-s/po/
    fi
  done

But if you're planning on doing any of this, please notify
translators when you start and when you finish (so they don't try to
update translations in the meantime).

Cheers,
Danilo
