The 'master' is the latest git branch ever of a module - every future new branch will be forked from 'master' (e.g. 'gnome-3-12' would be a fork of 'master').
Commiting translations to gnome-3-6 is waste of time at the moment, because a commit would only be of any of use if the software will have a new release. So, for example, Gtk+ 3.6.0 won't be releasing another minor version adn therefore it wouldn't make sense wasting translation effort on it. Obsolete, in resume. Commit translations only to 'master' and not to 'gnome-3-10' will result in your translation NOT being available in GNOME 3.10 -- which I think is not a good idea. Commit translations only to 'gnome-3-10' and not to 'master' will result in the translations being available in GNOME 3.10, however your lastest ever translation state will be out-of-dated -- your effort in GNOME 3.10 wouldn't be available in GNOME 3.12, for example. So, best you can do right now (close to a new GNOME release) is to commit to 'gnome-3-10' git branch and, then, run a git cherry-pick (more information in the URL mentioned by Piotr).
