[PATCH] Internationalization of git-gui

<20070719125657.8utk85ynuow4ow48@webmail.tu-harburg.de>

This is an initial patch of how internationalization (i18n) in git could be done, starting with the git-gui application (because I need that one in German to convince my workplace of switching to git).

Does this implementation look okay? If yes, I'd happily i18n'ize the rest of git-gui and provide a full German translation as well.

Thanks,
Christian Stimming
