Ah, right.  Thanks for reminding me that a benefit of CVS is its ease 
doing subsets.

Could you provide the transfer amount + disk consumption for en+de?

I believe that could be a valuable data point to evaluate if worth the 
complexity to store each locate as a separate git branch: Single-locale 
translators can then shallow-clone only specific branches, and all 
locales can be rolled out using a single shared .git database.
