This round looks good to me, with one caveat: I am not a translator, nor
do I use a translated version of Git. So, I haven't verified the claim
that the number translatable strings was reduced greatly, nor whether
there are any accidential duplicates due to typos. I infer the
correctness only by looking at the changes.

There's one small nit visible in the range-diff; not worth a reroll IMHO:

An extra blank after the 'if'.
