Ok, fine. I'll just use your git-conversion test repositories for local
testing of transifex then.

Mh, okay. Kinda makes sense. Can we change it to have "SVN" instead of
"svn" though? Yes, I know, I'm anal ...

It seems setuptools and easy_install are kinda hated by parts of the
Python community. I was told to just regenerate the cache manually
after it gets cleared. That's what I'm doing in the Lunar modules now
and it works quite well.

I'll do a bit of testing with transifex to see what it needs to run
properly (hook script for updating its repository checkouts, git
permissions to let it commit stuff, things like that).
