I agree with Andras, here. I, for myself, use Pootle only as a 
repository, never for translation, sometime to make some checks.

So this is not an obligation, we are trying to see how to simplify the 
process for the teams taking care of the files at the different steps of 
the localization process.
As Kendy explained, having .sdf file in GIT (and any SCM) is a mess 
because of the file format. So if in our process it is possible to 
remove this .sdf step, that will save time to several of us. Of course, 
if it's a burden for your team, we will find a way to make you happy, no 
probem.

Yes and taking the issue where it is, is imho more efficient than adding 
ways to workaround it. I will rely and Andras and Rimas here as I know 
nothing about Pootle admin and Git.

But again Martin, rest assure that we won't put something in place that 
won't let you contribute in the way you are used to. Let just see how we 
can make things a little bit better for every body, how it's possible.

Kind regards
Sophie
