What do you need pot-files for? You will get updated po-files which is
what you need if there already os a translation or a pot-files if
there wasn't already one. And yes you can, just press the button that
says "Download all po files" at the bottom of the page I just sent you
a link for and you will get a tar-ball with all the Danish
po/pot-files. I'm sure you can extrapolate that for you own language.

That is part of the task.

Why? If you can commit a tar-ball to Damned Lies with several files in
it in one go (one clicky-di-click) and then they will all be commited
at once, then isn't that exactly the functionality you are asking for?
