How about "umschreiben"? "neu schreiben" is more like "write from scratch", whereas "rewrite" is more often about taking a given base and modifying it.

"alternate objects" (hopefully) don't change much, so that "wechselnde" is misleading.

Is there a set translation standard for the "alternative object store" mechanism in git (alternates)? Otherwise "alternative Objekte" may be choice which is close to the original and conveys the aspect that they are objects from an alternative store.

maybe "zeigt Übereinstimmungen nur durch Beendigungsstatus an"

"mit" sounds like "including", "additionally". Also, nothing is shown ("zeigt"), but something is indicated ("zeigt an").

"decorate-Optionen" (unless we want to match the standard set by the bad old K&R translation ;) )

Here and in the following I'd a "-", e.g.

msgstr "fügt  \"To:\"-Header hinzu"

"Umschreiben" (if that becomes the agreed upon term for "rewrite").

Just my two Pfennig ;)
