Yeah, two reasons among others why I don't like current KDE infrastructure:
1) They do not store translations in the same git repo where sources are,
so you cannot easily get git snapshot with up to date localization files.
2) Their tarballs with releases of programs differ from sources in git tags.
As far as points above are closely related they might be merged into one... =)

Ok.
