Frankly I have no idea.  Maybe it would be better to write something like:
  compendium.XX.po: file skipped

Okay, but sometimes files are rightfully modified in www (for instance
a validation fix has been committed into www by a webmaster) and
changes must be copied into team's repository.  'make report' is smart
and tell us that this file is in an inconsistent state, but it must be
copied manually.
A similar issue we are facing just now is when master.XX.po modifies
PO files in www; those PO files must be copied into our team's
repository, but there is no trivial way to do so.

Yes, we will remove it, but IMHO this will not solve everything, other
PO files will have from time to time to be copied from www into our
team's repository.
