Why don't you just export LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8 or LANG=en_US.UTF-8 to
switch your terminal output to english? You could also write a wrapper
for git to do this, if you want to keep your other messages in german.

Doing that might lead to warnings and problems when trying to uninstall
or upgrade git.
