Hi Ralf

Here is the final third of my review.

typo at the far end

If you translate "pruned" as "gelöscht" or some such, that avoids the
ambiguity with "remote".

>  #: builtin/prune.c:136
>  msgid "expire objects older than <time>"
> -msgstr ""
> +msgstr "lässt Objekte älter als <Zeit> verfallen"

"verfallen" is nice!

>  msgid "check"
> -msgstr ""
> +msgstr "Überprüfung"

I think the original string should not be translatable to begin with.
The manpage says

  --recurse-submodules=check|on-demand
      Make sure all submodule commits used by the revisions to be pushed
      are available on a remote tracking branch. If *check* is used git
      will verify that all submodule commits that changed in the
      revisions to be pushed are available on at least one remote of the
      submodule. If any commits are missing the push will be aborted and
      exit with non-zero status. If *on-demand* is used all submodules
      that changed in the revisions to be pushed will be pushed. If
      on-demand was not able to push all necessary revisions it will
      also be aborted and exit with non-zero status.

So 'check' is not translatable.

Or perhaps "'receive-pack' Programm".

"Only" here means it doesn't read-a-tree, but empty the index.  So
dropping the "nur" would probably be better.

Should use 'oder:' in the case split, shouldn't it?

Again removed->gelöscht or some such avoids an ambiguity.

> -#, fuzzy

The original says *another* -- maybe

  benutzt einen anderen Schlüssel um die Markierung zu signieren

>  #: builtin/update-index.c:750
>  msgid "mark files as \"not changing\""
> -msgstr ""
> +msgstr "markiert Dateien als \"not changing\""

Neither original nor translation are very helpful.  Maybe

  Always assume this file to be unchanged
  Betrachte diese Datei immer als unverändert

>  #: builtin/update-index.c:756
>  msgid "mark files as \"index-only\""
> -msgstr ""
> +msgstr "markiert Dateien als \"index-only\""

Likewise, but here I don't even understand what the manpage is trying to
tell me, in particular I don't see how it would be different from
assume-unchanged.  Maybe "see manpage" would be the best documentation.

ISTR we settled on something for 'stage', but it's not in the glossary.
Either way I don't think this is it.  "Ausführung der Phasen" would mean
that it's some part of a process, whereas the stages are a state.


Yay, that's it.  Even in three parts it was tedious, and I cannot begin
to imagine what *writing* 825 new translations must have felt like.
Thanks for your work!
