Nitpick: capitalise "german". So, s/german/German/

Of course I can do that... however, the capitalization of the headline is 
somewhat different every time in the repository. The first word is lower case, 
yes, but e.g. the language adjective is sometimes upper case, sometimes lower 
case.

Switch several terms from uncommon translations back to english
vocabulary, most prominently commit (noun, verb) and repository. Adapt
glossary and translation accordingly.

Can you also explain _why_ these uncommon translations are changed to
English vocabulary? 

I've written an explanation in the cover letter email. Do you want to have it 
copied into the commit message?

It is unclear to me how these translation patches were split into
three.  I am sort-of guessing that 1/3 is only to cover the new
entries in .pot that have no corresponding entries in translation,
and the rest is to update/fix existing translations, but I do not
know how these changes are split between 2/3 and 3/3.  In any case,
"we must update original translation that does not match accepted
computer lingo" you wrote in the cover letter sounds like a very
good justification to record in the commit that updates/fixes the
existing entries.
