Sorry that I misunderstood.  But... if /you/ want your builds to be
reproducible, then /you/ should store all the things that are needed
for that, and not depend on another party.

If you don't want to pollute your git with dozens of PO files, maybe
tar them up into a single binary file, commit to git, and extract the
PO files at build time.
