commit 6ff2cd8b7d7c2e87b013ad264ca6dfcd28cf07e1
Author: John Zaitseff <J.Zaitseff@zap.org.au>

    Create a README file to describe the new po-translationproject branch
    
    Previously, the po-translationproject branch was a true branch of master,
    being merged into master on appropriate occasions.  However, the branch
    was never updated to reflect master.
    
    The new branch has been created as an orphan branch, completely empty
    apart from this README file.  It will only contain versions of
    translations as they appear on the Translation Project website, and will
    be merged into master after every update.  No other (public) branch will
    ever be merged into this branch.
    
    The last commit on the old branch of the same name was
    3553821a5c6a9591bbe3b4795e00f60789d059f0, dated 26th March 2016.
