Shouldn't that be "Listar referencias"? Infinitive is used for other imperative sentences, like "Releer referencias".

All these should also be infinitive, for consistency, I think. For example, see:

>  +#: gitk:1376
>  +msgid "f\t\tScroll diff view to next file"

Strictly speaking, "comando" is not a good translation of "command" (see http://rae.es/comando), though it is often used. "Command" should be translated as "orden", "instrucción". IIRC, IBM standard translation guideliness recommended translating "command line interpreter" as "intérprete de órdenes".

Nitpick: Why "id" as femenine? I'd tend to interpret it as
"identificador", not "identificación".

As above.

For consistency that should be "Selector de tipografías de gitk", like in "Preferencias de gitk". Else, it seems like there's something called "tipografías gitk".

>  +#: gitk:8716
>  +msgid "Command line"
>  +msgstr "Línea de comandos"

As above.

Just my opinion, of course...
