What you really need to understand is: _("foo") is translated, "foo" is not and will always be "foo". Technically, _ is a macro, it could be called get_the_translated_string_for(...) but that would be too long.

In git, _("foo") should be used when talking to a user (porcelain), and "foo" when talking to a program (plumbing). This way a user running

git <plumbing-command> | grep "some-plumbing-message"
will always get the same result regardless of the current locale.
