Format choice in export-to-branch

[Jeroen T. Vermeulen]

Mike Rooney notes that it'd be great if export-to-branch could produce MO files for him. See comment at:

Thanks for filing this Jeroen! I think either a choice of formats could work, or it might be more flexible to have two checkboxes, "Export PO files to branch: ", and "Export MO files to branch: ". This requires another attribute to be stored but could be pretty cool, as I think both can have value. Though I'd certainly rather see a choice of one of them than nothing at all :)

I too would love this functionality, seems trivial to get it working if LP can already email you the .po/.mo files

This feature would be very interesting for Python projects as the built-in gettext module (in the standard library) can only use MO files, having Rosetta only export POs thus requires an additional build step to MO before being able to use the tool
