If a user reports a bug against commit 123 including translated output
"knaz fargl minso edli"
it would be nice to be able to translate that back to English. What if
the translation has since changed and the most up-to-date .po no longer
contains this string?

I find it nice that checking out commit 123 will always contain the
one-and-only po specific to that version.
