As Jurgen noticed, there are some useless changes in the ts files:

      <message>
-        <location filename="../src/core/qgscontexthelp_texts.cpp" 
line="327"/>
+        <location filename="../src/core/qgscontexthelp_texts.cpp" 
line="319"/>

if there are lines removed/added in the source file, this will cause 
changes in the translation file.
Jurgen suggested to remove these tags "location filename" which would 
improve a lot.

I don't see any reason why it wouldn't be possible.
git submodules would be pretty useful for this matter.

As far as I know, you can't shrink existing repo without destroying the 
history.
