When you make a clone of a project on github, it creates a "repository". You can see the list of repositories associated with a project by clicking on the Repository Tab. Branches are clones within a repository (created with git branch and accessed through git checkout). Git merge commands refer to branches, not repositories, so in order to merge a repository back into mainline, you need to pull (fetch followed by merge) it as if it were a patch.

The i18n work flow involves an interplay between the Pootle server, where translations are maintained and gitorious, where the master POT files are updated. '''Note''': As a maintainer, you may update the .pot file associated with your project, but never update .po files. These are updated for you in the i18n work flow.
