I thought '.mo' files were "derived objects", like ".pyc" and ".o"
files, and hence should not be checked in at all, but rather built. 
Garret, can you try moving the file aside, and then re-building the file
with 'msgfmt'?  (Hmm, that utility may not be available on Windows,
except under cygwin).

If it must be checked in, then Chris is right:  it should be marked as
binary.
