Is the demarcation of file ownership (the audience) required in the translation? I suspect that the English original was left vague on that point for a reason (the file could be yours, his, hers, or its). If a change in the demarcation of the audience is required in the translation I suggest doing such changes there and leaving the source text intact as different natural languages approach this matter differently. As an example, some languages require that the text be reworded literally to: "Add the contents of the file to the staging area" as it stands, being rather different from "Add the contents of the file of/from [belonging to] you to the staging area"; there is advantage to leaving this text as-is.
