Yeah, after reading the manpage, I think it would be pretty
inconvenient for us. Maybe if we were starting from scratch it would
make more sense.
(The main pain point is that you can't have the meta-project I suggested
above: a submodule is un-updatable from the including tree, you have to
check it out separately. So we would have to move all the po files
into a single dir, as you said.)
