I agree with you. There is no question what it means, but what are the best german words for it.

"Neuaufbau": it contains the concept of rebase "Umpflanzen": it contains the concept of rebase "Umpfropfen": Actually, this word isn't familiar to me. It's a bit unusual, isn't it? (but it might contains the concept of rebase)

The whole point is that the user needs to know what it actually meant in git-context. If a user read "sie pflanzen gerade um" or "sie pfropfen gerade um", I don't think that this is the best solution. I haven't said that "sie bauen gerade neu auf" is the optimal one, for me it's better, though.

We really need to discuss (and thats indeed also an issue on other translation teams), which git (or SCM) related words we shouldn't translate at all.

Thanks, Ralf
