Depends.  When doing an official release you have got to check in the
.po files, too.  Otherwise the version tag will be wrong.  Additional
bonus: it will speed up following 'make update-po' calls (gnumeric!).
But only the maintainer at release time is allowed to do those checkins
;)

Yes, that's the sad truth.
