Ah, well i guess it depends how you use transifex :-) For other projects
I don't ever let Transifex have any repo access. I just use 'tx push' to
send the updated pot file to transifex when required, and 'tx pull' to
bring down the .po's later.


Back to the original issue - autobuild.sh causing virt-manager.pot to
change, that's not an issue for autobuild, since it always does a
git reset before running autobuild.sh. It is only an issue with people
running autobuild.sh manually, and  don't think that's worth worrying
about. If the .pot changes, then should ought to be committing the update
to GIT so transifex can pull it.
