33056	makemessages overrides the *.po files even if they are already up to date	Daniyal Abbasi	Daniyal Abbasi	"The *.po files are updated when the makemessages command in run even if they are already up to date. The significant change that occurs is the ""POT-Creation-Date"". If a *.po file exists, we should use the `--update` flag of `msgmerge`. This will not update the *.po if all the translation strings are not updated.

A benifit of this (that I personally encountered) would be writing pre-commit hooks for makemessages. The pre-commit hooks would not update the file if it is already up to date. "	Cleanup/optimization	closed	Internationalization	3.2	Normal	duplicate			Accepted	0	0	0	0	0	0
