The simple reason is the general rule that you don't store in VCS
generated files.
In GNOME, POT files can be simply generated with "intltool-update -p",
so there is no need to store the file in the VCS. There might be that
certain modules requires more sophisticated procedure to generate a pot
file, so they provide a pot file in the VCS to simplify the task of
translators.

POT files in VCS

2009-04-08 Thread Luca Ferretti
A little question: here is any reason to keep POT files in VCS?

I'm asking this 'cause I'm sure there is a consensus n GNOME modules
about don't include them, but I didn't find any guideline on
live.gnome.org.

I need a good reason to convince Gustavo to remove webkit.po from
svn.webkit.org :)
