From a i18n POV i'd prefer doing the 4.6.0 release from svn sources since 
moving everything to git at that late stage means that if the new repos 
trigger any problem in the scripty git codepath that the current smaller repos 
have not encountered yet we'll have to rush to fix that problem and 
translations might get a negative impact by it.
