msgcat gnome-build.po anjuta.po -o anjuta.po

This command will yield weird headers, which most translators will never
have seen, e.g.:

But this is good because it will let each team manually merge the
translation credits.

Currently there are 12 messages which are identical between Anjuta and
GNOME Build. If one or more of those messages are currently translated
differently, the output of that command will include fuzzy messages,
like:

#, fuzzy
msgid "General"
msgstr ""
"#-#-#-#-#  anjuta.po (Anjuta)  #-#-#-#-#\n"
"BBB\n"
"#-#-#-#-#  gnome-build.po (gnome-build)  #-#-#-#-#\n"
"AAA"

Most translators will never have seen this before, so translation team
coordinators will have to tell their own teams about what to do with
these messages.

There is another way, but I don't recommend it:
msgmerge gnome-build.po new-anjuta.pot -C anjuta.po -o anjuta.po

Instead of marking incoherent translations as fuzzy, this command would
adopt the gnome-build version, even in the message catalog header and
header comments.
