Is revert->umkehren new?  I can see it's in the glossary, but

  #: sequencer.c:536
  #, c-format
  msgid "could not revert %s... %s"
  msgstr "Konnte %s nicht zurücksetzen... %s"

  #: sequencer.c:1016
  msgid "Can't revert as initial commit"
  msgstr "Kann nicht zu initialer Version zurücksetzen."

which I don't really like either now that you mention it -- I would re-translate it as 'reset'. But either way they should be consistent.

You could say "angeblich" instead, which is more to the point.

This is in cmd_deinit(), and the comment for the enclosing block says

  # Remove the whole section so we have a clean state when
  # the user later decides to init this submodule again

So it would seem to use "unregister" as a verb, not an adjective, and the correct translation is

  msgstr "Unterprojekt '$name' ($url) für '$sm_path' deregistriert."

or some such. "Deregistriert" is not very nice; in the absence of context I would suggest "ausgetragen", but that problably collides with our use of "eintragen". Perhaps you can go the long way for this isolated use and just say "aus der Konfiguration entfernt" (and similarly for 'register').

In any case you should also add 'register' and 'unregister' to the glossary once you've settled on something.
