I can believe if this was intentionally left untranslated for the reasons you stated. Without introducing "message ID" that can be universally readable, so that customers can report "We got E42234 when running Git version 1.2.3.4", that is the best we could do.

But I am OK to see this translated, too.
Thanks.
