Hi Martin, what kind of issues does it cause, and how would the pot and po files be kept updated then in their separate repo (preferably automatically on each commit)?
I personally don't care too much if it's a separate repo or not (e.g. Eduard and I have been using a dedicated github repo last time), as long as - when I'm building my own Inkscape version - I can easily pull in the necessary translation files, perhaps using a script or a specific option for cmake... Using a dedicated service with a web interface would help pull in more contributors, I think. For myself, I'm happy with using lokalize and git, and to have the corresponding source files at hand - this is also better when you want to check what the translations look like, what they really refer to (and if they fit length-wise). (I think there is currently no launchpad translations service in effect. Or is there?...)
