To evaluate the impact of different formats of po files on the size of the
repository, I tailored the git repository with only "po/*" files with
history, and all "*.po" files are converted using "msgcat" into different
format in 3 different branches. See:
https://github.com/jiangxin/git-po-filtered
* For po files with file-location:
$ git clone --single-branch \
--branch po-with-file-location \
git@github.com:jiangxin/git-po-filtered.git \
po-with-file-location
$ du -sh po-with-file-location/.git/objects
28M po-with-file-location/.git/objects
* For po files with file name only:
$ git clone --single-branch \
--branch po-with-file \
git@github.com:jiangxin/git-po-filtered.git \
po-with-file
$ du -sh po-with-file/.git/objects
6.1M po-with-file/.git/objects
* For po files without file-location:
$ git clone --single-branch \
--branch po-no-file-location \
git@github.com:jiangxin/git-po-filtered.git \
po-no-file-location
$ du -sh po-no-file-location/.git/objects
6.2M po-no-file-location/.git/objects
From the above command output we can see that by removing line numbers
from po files, the size of the repository can be greatly reduced.

"po/git.pot" will be generated periodically at the following location,
where you can get "po/git.pot" if you don't have a build environment
at hand.

File-location meta info in po file can help l10n tools to locate context
easily. E.g.: When editing po file using Emacs (with po-mode), press the
key "s" (source) will open another window showing context of the specific
l10n message.
But if there is no file-location in "po/git.pot", we have no way to
generate po/XX.po with proper file-location. While if we store po/git.pot
with file location in git repository, repository size will get biger and
biger. As how to commit a po/XX.po without file locaiton automatically,
we add some instructions in patch 9/9, and we can also rewrite l10n CI
pipeline to validate po files from l10n contributors.
