Nothing, I have done it with my recent uploads with transifex but it is
slow. By example, if a package has more than one pot file (e.g.: po/ and
po-doc/) the po file and the pot files are not in the same page, the
names are long and it is easy to make a mistake.

Also, if it is done in the transifex server, it not depends on the
translator remembering to do it.

There is also the problem, if I want to download the files to the same
directory, that the po file names are not unique (nor the pot) in
transifex, most of the po/$lang.po and po-doc/$lang.po files has the
same name (for the same project and revision). But it should be another
feature request ;-)
