All pushed to git-gui-i18n.git mob branch now. I hope you can easily merge them over.

Maybe po/git-gui.pot should be updated by you on git-gui.git and (by Dscho?) on git-gui-i18n.git as well.

In other news, according to http://marc.info/?l=git&m=119170887523610&w=2 (almost last paragraph) people are already recognizing the localized versions, but this also means the translations have to be watched out for so that they will get updated as completely as possible especially before the next release. http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/index.php?title=String_Freeze&oldid=2022 is an example on how the gnucash project tried to communicate to its translators how the special "string freeze" period (i.e. a few weeks before the release) will be handled in order to get a finalized translation for the actual release. I don't know how formal you want to put this, but at least *some* period of string freeze would be very good. As for the German translation, I'd prefer any period length greater than 10 days in order to verify a complete translation...
