Git-gui users should not be forced to learn again. Learning git is already enough work.

Here it is: git://repo.or.cz/srv/git/gitman-de.git (You may blame me now for using a public repository.) I did create the mob user ( http://repo.or.cz/mob.html ) and it's branch. Pushing only over ssh. I used the repository of git from yesterday. The only translated file at the moment is gittutorial-de.txt. Every file without -de at its end is the original English file. DO NOT MODIFY them. If files with -de at their end have English passages or are completely English means, they haven't been translated. Note: You should fix any Eszett errors, I'm Swiss, so i was unable to insert any Eszetts.

It just makes the text more unclear and harder to understand. Instead, we should provide something like "gitglossary-de.1", so interested users can look up our translations of English words.
