So maybe something like:

  There are no human-readable parts of these strings; the command you
  type is still "git maintenance" even in other languages.

By "placeholders" I mean "things in angle brackets", like some of the
other usage strings in this file have. Maybe "argument placeholders"
would be more clear. I like that term a little better than the term
"human-readable parts" because these strings are part of the user
interface, so humans have to read them. But I really don't care
whether there's any explanation in the commit message at all. Junio
could just drop the sentence altogether when he commits the patch.

Yeah. It was mostly that the term actively misled me. ;) Just the
subject (with "literal command") would probably be enough in this case.
