When we tried transifex, we had to synchronize both ways (from and to
transifex, as we had more work done on github than on transifex), we
used the following flow:

tx pull -f --parallel
pomerge --from-files *.po */*.po
git checkout -- . # everything is in pomerge memory anyway
pomerge --no-overwrite --mark-as-fuzzy --to-files *.po */*.po
powrap --modified
git add -p
git commit -m "tx pull"
tx push -t -f --no-interactive --parallel

We use powrap [1] a lot, to avoid tx messing with our po files, and keep
differences as tight as possible.

Notice the "--mark-as-fuzzy", it was usefull to us as the main work was
on github, and translations from transifex quality was really low, but
it may not be usefull in your case, even maybe a pain if the work happen
on transifex.

To answer your question, as tx pull takes hours, I would recommand
pulling once and replicating to old branches using pomerge.

Using a "tx pull" per branch would only make sense if transifex side you
have one translation per version, in france we're only translating the
current stable version and replicating using pomerge --no-overwrite to
the old one.
