No, not if the translator fixes a typo and commit it first, which is
what I think should be recommended; besides that, it's simpler for the
translator to use the same committish for all files (that's actually
what I do for the French pages), so I vote for using

        git rev-parse web/master

where web/master is the local name of the remote branch. I've pushed
this along with other README improvements. Feel free to undo my changes
again (or pester me to do it myself).

Speaking of, isn't scripts/rev-to-commit.py supposed to update the
committishes automagically? It would need an update to work, though.
