This works as intended, please don't "fix" it.

Doing changes to the codebase affects the localized messages (even if the 
strings don't change, the line numbers can still change).  These changes 
are automatically propagated to the .po files by the build system.

How this is reflected in version control is a matter of convention.  You 
could commit the updated .po files along with the code changes in every 
commit; or you could update the .po files only when you actually update 
the translation.  As a compromise, the .po files are often updated before 
a release, whether or not the translation has actually been updated.

If I didn't do any work in the po/ subdirectory, I usually just do "git 
checkout po", or in case of geda-gaf, "git checkout */po" to reset the 
changes.
