I only pushed changes to the XML.  I hadn't made the pot.  When I did a make 
pot, ad looked at the created file, I see a lot of empty msgstr.  Presumably 
in something translated there would be some text in there, but given that 
the pot is created new from make how can that be?

Should the newly-made pot also be pushed?  Comments in the docs guide 
indicate that some translators watch this, but I worry about the empty 
msgstr's.

When I grep the pot for the changed XMLs, there seem to be perhaps 35 
strings associated with those files.  I estimate perhaps 3/4 of those are 
new/changed, so does that imply perhaps a couple dozen strings to be 
translated?

Of course, those are my changes.  There were a number of commits prior to 
mine, not sure how to estimate what those might imply (although many commit 
messages imply that they might not have included new/changed prose).
