Hi Matthieu and list,
I've retouched the French translation update for git-gui.. I'll send it right after this mail.
I've fixed some more "out-of-context" translations, and considered some of the comments from Matthieu Moy.
A second patch will follow which will updated all lacking translations as of today. This makes the French translation 100% covered and reviewed.

This is funny requirement, especially when I see what you've let in as a "french" translation :) I doubt

"Supporter quelque chose" means "to > endure something" in correct french.
In fact, there are many meanings to that word. "Centre de support" doesn't mean a place to endure stuff :)
http://www.granddictionnaire.com reveals us that "supporter" is a computer-related term that means just what we need here, and it's been reviewed by the "Office de la langue française" in 2002.

Have you looked at the context ?
To tell you the truth, I hadn't either, but I just did and fixed it in the second patch I send. It was used in a tooltip to show the last date a branch was updated, so it's now "Mise-à-jour:".
There you go, I've fixed most of the things you've outlines.
Hope this helps
