As I said I've tried to unify with the git-gui translation. Actually, I was
wondered why they translate terms like "Tag" or "Commit" because
I think they should be known by a Git user.

I know German books about Git using many other terms like
"Staging" or "Index" as it is.

Well, this is getting into the eternal "German vs. Denglish"
bikeshedding war.  If you can actually cite books, that would probably
constitute a good argument in favour of changing it to the English terms
for these.  (I'd be all for it, and AFAIK so would Jan, but as I said
this has been going on for a while.)

* Make a glossary of the relevant terminology first.  Sadly
 gitglossary(7) has gotten somewhat stale, and perhaps can also benefit
 from an overhaul.  Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason recently made a list[4] of
 the most important terms, which is a good start.

I would be happy to work together with you on these things.
Tiny changes in the translation of basic terms can make
a big difference.

Perhaps you could use the Github wiki feature to import Ævar's list into
a wiki in your git-de-po repository, which we could then edit?

I don't think that it's sooo bad that it needs to get reverted.

Probably not, since that would be pointless without another minor
release.  But I am saying it should not have been fast-tracked to maint
in the first place.
