Hi Ralf

I made a feeble attempt to work directly on de.po so that I could send a patch instead, but your patch was again linewrapping damaged at the last line here at least:

  -"Arbeitsverzeichnis von Submodul in '$sm_path' enthält lokale Änderungen; "
  -"verwenden Sie '-f' um diese zu verwerfen"
  +msgstr "Arbeitsverzeichnis von Submodul in '$displaypath' enthält
  lokale Änderungen; verwenden Sie '-f' um diese zu verwerfen"
 
Was it intended for application?  If so, can you fix your tooling to
send correct patches?

Heh.  Curious that this is even translatable.

Isn't it "nummeriert" under the new spelling rules?

"Input" here is an imperative, so it should be
  Ignorier-Muster eingeben>>

or is that my Swiss German again?

In addition, I think <ident> would sound smoother as Identität (in any case that's what I think it expands to in English). There are other occurrences of "ident" that you would need to change to match.

The sentence is not fully in plural; it should probably be

"die folgenden Submodule (oder geschachtelte Submodule hiervon)\n" "benutzen ein .git-Verzeichnis:"

There would be no ambiguity in the intended meaning of "sicher" if you instead said

  Ihre Änderungen sind im Stash sicher.

(Note that the ambiguity does not exist in English: the other meaning would be "surely".)
