[Localization] Pootle 2.5 porting [Work in Progress]

[Aneesh Dogra]

Okay. So, after looking into what pootle's vcs scripts do. I think we
cannot use them for our directory structure. The problem being that pootle
searches for checkouts, project-wise. That means it will look for only
checkouts/project/langs and where it assumes this to checkouts/project to
be a git/svn/vcs repository. We don't have individual projects in pootle.
We instead have a category wise listing. That means all the projects that
run on glucose are added in checkouts/glucose/ in their own directories.
And all their po files are used together under one name,
glucose.intranslations/glucose/langs.

The best bet would be to keep using our version of vcs updation scripts in
pootle-helpers.

I am now trying to port them to make them work on the latest pootle.
