Wow, thanks.

Having an empty msgstr "" for yet-to-be-translated entries is slightly misleading. People who work on PO files can spot them, but those who try your wip translation files cannot spot them in the UI.

I am not sure if I am happy with the word used as the translation of "reference".

Comments on just a few items I noticed (I didn't read everything that deeply, though).

git-gui seems to say "大文字小文字を区別" for this.

Similar...

Perhaps 「親コミットから blame をかける」

> +#: gitk:2404
> +msgid "Show origin of this line"

Perhaps「この行の出自を表示する」

Perhaps「この行に git gui で blame をかける」

「ここにはリポジトリがありません」。

「コマンド行」would be equally common and shorter.
