Yes, nevertheless a short warning might be appropriate:

Use 'msgmerge' here only if you know for sure the offending .po file was
submitted by no translator (hacker, maintainer); if it was submitted by
one of your co-translators, use 'msgcat'.  'msgmerge' will override
concurring messages.

    cp sv.po sv.po.cvs
    msgcat -o sv.po sv.po.tmp sv.po.cvs

or

    msgcat --use-first -o sv.po sv.po.tmp sv.po.cvs
