So the update-1 branch no longer exists, and we have ship-2 branch in
place - right ?

We are using a system where we have a directory (update1_core) where
all the modules which have an update-1 branch are kept (with the
active branch being update-1). Pootle sees a file called
translations/update-1/xx/module.po which is a symlink to
checkouts/update-1/modules/po/xx.po. Thus Pootle thinks that Update 1
(Core) is a single project with multiple PO files to translate.
We have a few scripts to handle this symlinking and to ensure sanity
(no invalid links, no non-symlink files in translations/).
This makes things a bit complicated at our end, but makes the job of
the translation coordinator for a particular team easy, and it is also
easy to gather overall statistics.

I'll be on IRC for the entire day tomorrow - feel free to ping me
anytime (my nick is unmadindu)


Warm regards,
Sayamindu
