I'd say the translation above is fine, and no matter what language the user messages are in, the user would have to consult the man page for this very special feature, but I don't think we have to say so explicitly.

Is this meant to omit the text? (I may have missed the pertaining discussion.)

I can't seem to find the other occurence in de.po, but state should be the same as in

"copy out the files from named stage" (checkout-index).

"Zustand" seems to be appropriate.
