I started trying to come up with something similar for the Icelandic translation I plan on getting to any day now (for ~11 years and counting).
I think it would be a really good addition to git to move this list into a built-in or an option for "git help", something like:
git i18n-terms
Or:
git help --common-terms
It would help users that use a non-English a lot, since they could use it as a reliable cheatsheet, and it would clearly help translators, since it could be one of the first things they'd translate, to anchor themselves when it comes to translating blob/tree/commit/tag etc.
If you're interested I can help you come up with that. Basically it would be some "static" array with that table as C code with strings marked with N_(). We could then add optional explanations as in gitglossary(7) (and even eventually generate that documentation from that code).
