date

The *.po files are updated when the makemessages command in run even if
they are already up to date. The significant change that occurs is the
"POT-Creation-Date". If a *.po file exists, we should use the `--update`
flag of `msgmerge`. This will not update the *.po if all the translation
strings are not updated.
A benifit of this (that I personally encountered) would be writing pre-
commit hooks for makemessages. The pre-commit hooks would not update the
file if it is already up to date.
