Ok, but translating it with "buckets" has no real sense since it is not commonly used in Italian, IMO. I'd leave it empty (the default English word - "buckets" - will show up anyway) and hope that someone will come up with an idea :)

Ok, done in this version (attached).

Some explanation is in po/README. The workflow is/should be:
  * normal development in git-gui.git happens
  * nearing a release, Shawn updates po/git-gui.pot
  * all translators update their po/*.po files with

	$ msgmerge -U po/it.po po/git-gui.pot

    where "it" is an example. This command updates strings and line numbers
    in the .po file (as in the two lines you quoted), and adds "fuzzy"
    to old/machine-guessed translations.
  * now the translator can use his tool of choice (but nearly any editor
    should do) to search for fuzzy or new strings and update it all.
