Quick sanity check, is "Apple" really supposed to be translated here:

  #: git-gui.sh:2092 lib/choose_repository.tcl:41
  msgid "Apple"
  msgstr ""

In git-gui.sh:

 .mbar add cascade -label [mc Apple] -menu .mbar.apple

Since the menu title is the Apple symbol, should it really have a
translatable label?

Hmm, maybe not.  What triggers that menu being attached to the menu
bar as the Apple menu itself is I think being called .apple.  But as
you point out, there is little point in translating that string.
It should only be used on a Mac, and on a Mac we really want that
to be your true Apple menu, not a menu that happens to say "Apple"
in your preferred language.

Actually on a Mac OS X system the "Apple" menu is now the application
menu, so it will say either "Wish" or "Git Gui", depending on how
you managed to start git-gui.

I'll remove the [mc] block on that.  We shouldn't translate it.
