I thought it'd be interesting to allow translators who use Git through
the command line nowadays to continue to do so. And thus, we should be
able to push new PO files to the platform as well.
But it might not be necessary - but in that case, we'd all need to use
the webinterface.

I simply thought about the master and testing branches, not individual
branches.

Missing variables, missing punctuation signs, missing line breaks...
