Yes, I remember that I stumbled upon the same issue in the past and you
gave the same answer.
The problem is that, except for you and the french guys (I think), most
of translation contributors do not have push access. This means that
documentation gives "wrong" information for most of us.

This method requires one more patch, right?
There's a way to avoid that?
For example, what if I used the last committish of the snippet I'm
translating (as I normally do with all the files)?
I think that this issue would deserve some lines in the CG.
Cheers,
