So the three commits I've done in August 2014 are overwritten... Looks
like somebody else redid more-or-less the same "main" work anyway.

One "drive-by" correction I did has indeed been reverted:

How about the git commit/push is made to *fail* for the developer
then? Some git commit hook or something. The commit fails unless the
developer has set environment variable
"YES_THIS_IS_AN_IMPORT_FROM_POOTLE=yes" or
"AWARE_OF_TRANSLATION_WORKFLOW=yes".
