We don't have all modules with the same branches. That will only work if
we branch all modules just after a release so we could get a translation
module from the gnome-2-6 branch with all translations for GNOME 2.6.
But that will not work with gtk/glib/pango. I don't see as an easy
solution for GNOME or other projects with different branches.
