Here is a patch against current master (attached to prevent encoding issues).

The strings missing translation now is "Buckets". I know what
it means but I can't came up with a translation that I like.

Confused. Even in the repo i used buckets was the only missing translation.
If you look at my patch:

 #: lib/choose_repository.tcl:628
 msgid "buckets"
-msgstr ""
+msgstr "buckets"

you'll notice that we agree on not translating that word :)

Ok, but translating it with "buckets" has no real sense since it is not
commonly used in Italian, IMO. I'd leave it empty (the default English
word - "buckets" - will show up anyway) and hope that someone will come up
with an idea :)

That said, I'd like too see the following hunk be part of your patch as well:
 #: lib/spellcheck.tcl:80
-#, fuzzy
 msgid "Unrecognized spell checker"
-msgstr "Correttore ortografico sconosciuto"
+msgstr "Correttore ortografico non riconosciuto"

Ok, done in this version (attached).

Can you please clarify how you are working on the po file?
I was used to use gtransalator and I'm a bit confused by hunks like
the following:
-#: lib/option.tcl:192
+#: lib/option.tcl:194

Some explanation is in po/README. The workflow is/should be:
  * normal development in git-gui.git happens
  * nearing a release, Shawn updates po/git-gui.pot
  * all translators update their po/*.po files with

	$ msgmerge -U po/it.po po/git-gui.pot

    where "it" is an example. This command updates strings and line numbers
    in the .po file (as in the two lines you quoted), and adds "fuzzy"
    to old/machine-guessed translations.
  * now the translator can use his tool of choice (but nearly any editor
    should do) to search for fuzzy or new strings and update it all.
