  git.pitivi.org is the *real* master, as for gnome.org it's
git.gnome.org, but (considering it's git) we'll be regularly syncing
between the two.

  I was *expecting* to be able to easily backport git.pitivi.org commits
to svn.gnome.org. Alas... it wasn't (ask any other project doing their
main development in git and syncing back to svn, they'll have the same
comments), and we eventually got lost in hacking... and forgot about it.

  I'll give a try at syncing the po/*.pot with current code and push it
to git.gnome.org soon.
