The way I do it is copy the source directory and make dist on the copy
(of course commit on the original). That way the translation changes
don't get commited. It's a little pain if dist fails and you have to
make changes, but it's not too bad (and it saves a lot of time commiting
po files when you are on a 56K dialup connection).
