Hi!

I'm native German, but German git messages confuse me (yopu'll have to 

correlate them with the man pages). At the moment git uses the

What in particular makes the German git messages confusing you? What
`git version` do you use?
Maybe we can find something to improve in the translation.

The problem is (as others found out already) that all documentation I have use english Git messages, and lots of documentation is in English.

You could compare it to C++ (for example): If you read the language reference in English, you can only be confused by German compiler messages, and if you have a German book on C++, the phrases the book uses are quite likely not the ones the compiler uses...

Back to Git: Assuming (pure Science Fiction) that you participate in several projects using Git: One from a French maintainer expects that Git messages are in French, one Project uses English, another Project uses German... The a per-project locale setting would make sense (despite of the fact that I believe that every international project should use English for communication (just because it's a kind of "industry standard", not giving any personal preference).
