Well, "no se puede" has 3 more characters than "no puedo", this was the primary reason why I switched to the first person form. Spanish is way more verbose than English. what about "Error analizando la salida de git log:"? it is impersonal and shorter than the original one.

This is not a good thing, as it means that I lost changes with my poor git abilities :( I actually translated those lines, but the last changes got lost when I collapsed the commits into something decent to send.

I think I have taken care of most/all of the suggestions. It would be easier, IMO, if I send an incremental commit and don't collapse them, so that we can keep the discussion on (hopefully) smaller patches each time :)

So I'm sending a patch assuming this one is committed, instead of rebasing the old and this one.
