Well, we can make it simpler by doing a full module update, but that
means updates on all of its branch which progress.g.o provides stats
for.  That should be only slightly slower (sincce POT wouldn't change,
no other updates except "svn up" and "intltool-update -m" would be
ran).

So maybe running a full update simply like:

  (cd /var/www/damned-lies && python update-stats.py MODULE)

Yes, that probably makes the most sense.  For the record, the branch
name for 'trunk' should be HEAD (relic of the CVS support from the
past :).  If needed, I can make it support 'trunk' as well.

I don't know.  I guess they could, but I can't imagine this being very
common, but since Damned Lies is based on incremental updates, "not
very common" is not good enough.

So we should simply leave a once-a-day cronjob to catch those cases
anyway.
