You won't be able to commit, you need special permissions for this.

I propose that we host this file on the wiki.
If you gzip or zip it, you should be able to upload
it to the wiki: http://gramps-project.org/wiki
(when you log in, the upload link is on the bottom
of the sidebar on the left)

I would also really really recommend only having
translations there that differ from the original.
Something like
   msgid "blah"
   msgstr "blah"
is just the waste of space and your time. If you delete
such pairs then the English translation will be used
for missing strings. You only need to have there what
you want changed.

The arbitrary version is OK. Hopefully this can
be merged with any other gramps.pot:
   $ msgmerge -o new.po old.po gramps.pot
