"Projekt" or "Archiv" should suffice.

"Versionsangabe", probably. I think "revision" is most used as a short form of "revision specifier".

"Index"?

Or "abzweigen", if it's used transitive.

I came up with David's "Beschreibung" independently. It fits better to "Sammlung" below than "Zusammenfassung", IMHO.

Show 5 quoted lines

"Sammlung" and "sammeln".

How's a checkout different from a working copy?

But to be honest, I wouldn't translate "repository" and "commit", at least if they are used as nouns.
