Hi,

since a few weeks scripty started to overwrite its own changes, i.e. it 
commits the template file as a language translation, then fills in a few 
language specific entries, and then overwrites it with the template again.

This is happening all across the board, I have checked half a dozen
frameworks, and all are affected.

Apparently, only completely untranslated po files are affected. This can
be seen in e.g. kio-extras:

- po/ga/kio6_archive.po only has meaningful updates (i.e. line number updates)
- po/ga/kio6_afc.po flips between two states

This seems to be specific to Irish Gaelic, but it may also be caused by Gaelic 
having so many untranslated parts.

Can someone please check what is happening here?
