This would probably be useful once we have some git instructions, but ideally translators would not be using a read-only clone, and would instead upload their patch to gerrit as a proposed change. Other than the need to set up an ssh key once it's not any more steps than producing a patch (just replace git format-patch with git push origin refs/for/master). -- Torne Wuff to...@wolfpuppy.org.uk
