Good points. I tried summit yesterday and it seemed to work. But a mail from 
the server this morning told me that I had commited a directory

$KDEREPO/trunk/l10-kf5/hsb/messages/emplates

(yes, emplates) where the whole directory tree got duplicated and submitted/
added once more.
I haven't edited any of the files - I have only set KDEREPO and L10NLANG - and 
just followed the instructions on the web page so I am not sure what has 
happened (it looks like a typo in a script to me). Does anybody have an idea 
what has happened here?
