| I think this step is incomplete. It should read as follows:
|
|   9. Check if the POT file was updated by the translators meanwhile.
|      cvs update *.pot
|      If this command reports "U" or "P", the POT file has changed, and
|      you need to update your PO file accordingly:

In GNOME CVS, pot files are not committed into CVS. They are generated
by intltool whenever there is need.

|
|      mv xy.po xy.po.tmp
|      cvs update xy.po
|      msgmerge -o xy.po xy.po.tmp *.pot

[.....]
| Furthermore, you can improve another step in this tutorial:
|
|

|
|
| The 'msginit' program has been created to streamline this step for the
| translators, filling in most of the header entry. So you can write
| this step as follows:
|
|   4. Create the initial xy.po:
|      msginit -l xy

This sounds like a good tip for inclusion in tutorial.
