Hi Luigi,

You asked me on IRC if libkgeomap.po can still be a separate
translation file (digikam_geoiface.po?). I talked to Gilles and we
came to the decision: this would be too complex to maintain, with
regard to the possible advantages.

Thus we extract the whole digikam.git repo into a single file
digikam.pot as usual. The existing translations (from KDE4) can be
filled into kf5/digikam.po from the six files listed above.
