[Localization] Offering help with Pootle setup and maintainance

[Rafael Enrique Ortiz Guerrero]

Hi Sayamindu,

For now we have a workaround, that uses symllinks and bash scripts with some
gettext tools,
This is working very well, but would be nice to hack around
versioncontrol.py, to add the fully git integration. from what i see your
solution could be the one.

Can you send to use your versioncontrol.py and potree.py, to try this out in
a test installation?.
to see if we got the commit and update procedure straightforward to git.?

Thanks!
