Your commit sounds good. Maybe you should still complete the copyright
headers of your files:
# Copyright (C) YEAR THE PACKAGE'S COPYRIGHT HOLDER
# This file is distributed under the same license as the PACKAGE package.

...replacing what is written in uppercase with the real values.

Seems you already found out.

This depends on what you want to do. By example, on the GNOME 2.20 page
[1], you can see if modules have already branched by looking at the
downbload links of po/pot files (HEAD=trunk, branch-2-??=branch). As
long as the stable release has releases ahead, according to release
planning [2], it's worth committing both in branch and in trunk.

Now you have to establish a strategy: either you always commit both in
stable branch and in trunk, or you can choose to only commit in stable
until a particular date when you decide to work in trunk for the new
development release. With this second strategy, you'll want to merge
files from branch to trunk with a command like 'msgmerge branch.po
trunk.pot > newfilefortrunk.po'.

Hope it's clear enough :-/
