The gettext manual, section "CVS issues", says

    the maintainer can omit from the CVS
    repository all the files that `gettextize' mentions as "copy".
    Instead, he adds to the `configure.in' or `configure.ac' a line of the
    form

        AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION(0.13.1)

You are apparently taking a slightly different approach, by not putting
address@hidden into the CVS repository. A simple 'autoreconf' or 'autopoint'
invocation is therefore not enough; you also need to restore the omitted
file yourself:

     $ cd .../po
     $ make address@hidden address@hidden
