Comment 5 for bug 353981

I am also all for fixing the export. Two possible approaches would be:

1. Check first if there is a directory conflict between the templates involved in the export. If not, export all po files into the template's directory. If there is a conflict, create a subdirectory for each template and export into that instead of prepending to the file name.

2. Always use the subdirectory-per-template layout.

The goal is to give the user a set of PO files that need not be renamed. Also to create a layout that can be re-imported directly.

FWIW, I know of at least one user that had no problem with the current situation because he knew enough shell foo to do the renaming in one command. But I still think most users are confused by the current layout of the tarball.
