Should project.pot file be in SVN?

[Daniel Elstner <daniel kitta googlemail com>]

Hi,

I'm a bit confused by the advice given in this document:

    http://www.gnome.org/~malcolm/i18n/index.html

For one thing it says that my project's .pot file (regexxer.pot) should
be used as a template for new translations.  It also seems to be used to
generate the i18n status packages.  However, this file is generated by
intltool-update (all the *.po files are regenerated too).  The i18n
document advises not commit to the po/ directory.  But if I don't commit
these changes, will translators actually notice that an update is in
order?

I would be glad to get some advice on this issue.  Thanks a lot.

Confused,
--Daniel
