I can imagine the potential catastrophe if this is enabled and someone makes a careless mistake. I don't use the file DL/UL feature often enough to have a strong opinion. If no other translators want it, I'm fine with the current disabled status. >> Or do I have to upload the file twice, one for each branch? > > Please don't use the same file twice.

I tried "msgmerge -o new-master.po -N 6-4.po master.po" a while ago when I tried to rectify the discrepancy caused by my file upload, but the result new-master.po contained too many unrelated changes and I ended up discarding it and manually edited the master.po file instead. I'll ask on this list if I need to do this again in the future and can't figure it out myself.
