The translators themselves don't use tarballs, they only use PO files. The TP extracts the POT files from a tarball, remerges the existing PO files at the TP against them, and delivers these newer PO files to the translators. Translators thus only need to have access to email and an editor -- nothing else. You want them to have git installed? And to know how to handle it? Sure, quite a few will know. But it would break their workflow, and mine. So, if it's not too much trouble, please keep providing a URL of a snapshot tarball on alpha.gnu.org (or somewhere else) and send that URL to the coordinator at the TP, so that I can just run my two or three scripts, and all runs smoothly.
