pinotree says they only way they test is very carefully with the real
scripty. This makes me sad. Maybe we could get an anonsvn server
cloned and made writable, then we could have something to test with.

So that we're on the same page... scripty still needs to work with
i18n in SVN. I was a little concerned when you said its a "git port"
when its really more of a "git feature addition." I guess I should've
dented immediately. :)

The idea is that for Amarok or Plasma to switch to git tomorrow, i18n
needs to stay in SVN. (Possibly i18n could stay in SVN forever, they
have a very different way of doing things and switching to git should
be up to them.)

The only thing that needs to be git pushed are the .desktop files that
scripty famously commits in our SVN repos routinely at the moment.
