Every time a new manual is built the revcheck is updated.

No. The it group uses the - as you say way cooler - revision
tracking method, the translation.xml, instead of the Translators
file. As this file is XML, the revcheck program is able to read
and generate nice tables from it, like who is doing what, and
they are in what stage, and can interlink files and people
together, etc... The translation.xml feature is not currently
documented in the howto, but you can see examples in the hu
and it tree. Hu exclusively use the translation.xml method,
dropping out the Tranlators file, as it is more convinient for
us to use this. The decision is up to the translators group
to choose...

The revcheck script is bacward compatible to handle languages
with revision comments in files, but no translation.xml file...

Yes. And you need your languages files check out too ;)
