 Sometimes source strings are changed and as a result we lose translations,
 for example here:
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/translation.git/diff/?h=support-
 portal&id=5fb425d81940e4ff4cef882b88d621d94df04456&context=3&ignorews=0&dt=1
 (where a double space on the source string was fixed, and we lost
 translations to a lot of languages)

 I should envise a way to make this kind of commits trigger an alert for
 me, so I can easily go to transifex and fish this translations from memory
 (with the help of the actual commit even).

 Maybe just a trigger when there is a big diff with deletions, maybe
 something more elegant even.
