That's a reasonable approach.  'msgcat' coming with gettext will help
you doing the merge step:

    msgcat -o merged.sv.po CVS.sv.po your_translation.sv.po

Then edit merged.sv.po using your favorite .po file editor.  In case of
differing tranlations those are marked fuzzy with proper hints (IMO).

Hackers may consider to add *.po to po/.cvsignore.
