Re: Using Git and separating translations into their own l10n-LL repository

[Matej Urban <matej urban gmail com>]

Thanks, Gil,

I will wait and see, but since I'm a translator/mantainer and since I
doubt I will be able to upload many files at once, the only difference
so far I see, is that I will replace keyboard keystrokes for mouse
clicks. There will be no changelog, which is an improvement :)

Anyhow, in the end I will use whatever I'll need to do it, but keep
nagging about it. For some reason, I really doubt that single dir for
all po files, is a big programing deal. No obsolete clicks, no hassle,
just pure translation work.
