This script seems to rely on ./refresh-translations, which used to leave
files under tmp/pot. Starting with the commit below, files are cleaned
up in every situation, including clean exit; this explains why attempts
with recent dates fail, while going back earlier in time makes this
succeed again.

| Do some clean up.
|
| If the script fails at various points, these files would linger.
If you want to get a one-time report, commenting out this line seems
sufficient:
| trap "rm -fr tmp/pot po/*.new po/*.orig" EXIT
It might be worth supporting an option (or environment variable) in that
script to avoid cleaning tmp/pot when it's called with this extra
setting from the language_statistics.sh script?
