After rereading all the replies, I feel it's better to to leave a note
here to make my point clear. As we removed the "po/git.pot" file, it
is not easy to find the base version of a "po/XX.po" file, and we need
the "POT-Creation-Date:" field which comes from the header of the
generated POT file to tell us the version of the base.
