We have two .po files, each from different branches of a piece of software.
We need to combine these into a single .po file.
There are duplicates between the two files, and the ideal handling would be for one file's strings to be favoured (consistently).
We have a SUSE system so the --output-file doesn't seem to have the behaviour of ignoring/merging duplicates which the Sun version has according to a man page I found from a web search. (We do not have a Sun machine handy!)

A . PO file is a portable object file, which is text-based. These types of files are used in commonly in software development. The . PO file may be referenced by Java programs, GNU gettext, or other software programs as a properties file.
You can open and edit a PO file in any text or source code editor, such as Microsoft Visual Studio Code (cross-platform) or GitHub Atom (cross-platform).
What you are looking for is the msgcat util, it concatenates and merges the specified PO dictionaries.
This is part of gettext utils, for more information please consult gettext manual page on msgcat.
