  Okay, this requirement is now obsolete because we've granted SVN write access to someone from BaseALT's translation team.
  
  Another problem with SVN is, it's slow. It sometimes takes at least 10 minutes to "svn cleanup" + "svn up" when only the translations from branches trunk/kf5 and stable/kf5 are checked out, making the full run of scripty slow on my laptop (note: I don't use SSD, that might be the reason). A similar Git command (e.g. git reset --hard) would be much faster for a similarly sized repo.
