From the maintainer point of view: Simply ignore the current SVN version and 
commit the pt_BR.po file that has been submitted. This at least won't 
accidentally loose any translation work.

In this particular case I had updated the po files by "make update-po" from 
the most recent template, but if translators have used the previous template 
to work on, that's fine as well and we just thankfully use the file from the 
translators. The next release will also see a merge of the pt_BR.po file with 
the most recent template, so if the translator will continue to work with the 
next release (2.3.12 IIRC), he will see the last new strings that need to be 
edited. After all, the amount of changes is small; we have 3800 messages, and 
at most 200 of them might have changed with the new release. After 2.3.12, we 
will also be in string freeze, so that the 2.3.12 template hopefully won't 
change for quite some time to come.

Best Regards,
