The how-to document always talked about "the stable *branch*". This  
means very well a file from SVN. In SVN, there are multiple versions  
of the po files available on multiple development branches. The how-to  
document clarifies that a translator should always pick the version  
that exist in SVN on the "stable" branch, not on any other branch.  
Currently, the "stable" branch in SVN is the one whose URL contains  
"gnucash/branches/2.2", whereas the non-stable or experimental branch  
is the one whose URL contains "gnucash/trunk" (hence the experimental  
branch is called "trunk" in short).

I would suggest installing an SVN client anyway. This is also what the  
how-to documents suggest all over the place. If you have a SVN  
checkout, creating a patch for sending here will be a built-in  
function of the SVN client program called "diff".

Thanks. I'll commit this soon, but I won't have time for this before  
the end of the week. Feel free to send updated patches if more work  
has been done.
