Storing any development effort into a version control system is IMHO a
good idea.

I think that the best way to do it, would be the easiest, technically
speaking.

For example: if you want to configure Pootle to use Git, you will have
to let it authenticate in some ways. If it's easy, then go ahead!

The alternative would be having someone manually pushing changes from
the filesystem into the repository. This could be done on a periodic
basis; say every two weeks.

To summarize: +1 for Git, in whatever way it is easiest to configure
and to maintain.

I agree that branches would be most useful.

What do you mean exactly?

I would expect l10n-savy developers to push changes from the Pootle
development repository into AOO41X or other branches, at appropriate
times (for example, before a beta release).

I hope this helps.
