Well, I think it's nice to have copies of those files in many repos around the
globe, but it's not really needed.  And thus several GNU packages (coreutils,
grep, tar) have chosen to drop the PO files from their version control.  The
files get fetched from the TP at release time.

Easy: add another target, "make release", that does an update-po and
then distcheck.  :)
