On a general note, if you consistently make a single type of change (like the first two quotes below), it would be easier on the reviewers if you split them out as separate commits. That way I could say "I like this in general, and I trust you're not sneaking in any other changes in this patch", and stop reading.

Why the switch to passive? It should never be used, and all that... (There are more further down.)

[...]

These should perhaps also be fixed in the originals. Again there are more of the same type.

Note that this collides with the use of Packen for packing (as in pack-objects). Not sure it matters here, though, and it's definitely an improvement.

I think you're partially reverting an earlier change of mine here. loose really is "lose" as in "not packed". They are "lost" only by virtue of being unreachable, which you're also stating. So if anything, you should consistently change "loose object" to some term other than "loses Objekt".

Unrelated to your change, but perhaps also "wie angefragt" -> "wie gewünscht"?

Again unrelated, but for me, this is quite hard to parse. Perhaps, while strictly speaking wrong, "nicht-zusammengeführte Dateien" or also something like "konfliktbehaftete Dateien" would be easier to scan.
