[Qgis-community-team] Documentation repo

[Otto Dassau]

Hi Jean Roc,

yes, that's how we want to manage it - so you could commit the changes. The
only thing I don't know is, if there is a way to preserve the svn commit logs
from the old translation branches. I guess we will loose them - right?

Regards
Otto
