A way to group translation changes in fewer commits about weblate HOT 2 CLOSED

I've though quite a lot about this and it's quite tricky. With current approach, it is really simple to merge translations back and you don't have to care about anything. With some sort of merging things could get more complicated (once merging of commits would involve rewriting git history).

My current idea to handle this is to postpone committing changes as long as possible. This way Git history won't get rewritten (what would avoid troubles when merging changes).

So basically it would be like:

• on translation done it would be stored to file
• the commit will happen later once
  • somebody else works on the translation
  • merge from upstream occurs
  • optionally some timeout, though upstream merge will probably happen often enough

With current Weblate infrastructure this is quite easy to implement and would reduce number of commits lot. Though this would not be 100% merging of all contributions from single translator, what would be really hard to achieve.
