Nor am I, but I have some time to work on this. Please let me help by
trusting that I'm not going to totally screw it up.

5,000 lines might seem like a lot, but I didn't even attempt to
harmonize the terminology in the translation. For example, the
translation still uses a mix of "tú" and "usted" (although some work
was done previously to try to standardize on "tú"), and many terms
like "amend" and "bundle" are sometimes translated and sometimes left
in English.

You can reduce the displayed diff on GitHub in an instant by
fast-forwarding <https://github.com/ChrisADR/git-po> to
<https://github.com/git-l10n/git-po>.

In my opinion, the "generic" Spanish translation (which is the only
Spanish translation we have at the moment) should avoid using words
that can have different meanings in different countries. If I've made
changes that seem to just change from one dialect to another, this is
why. And if you want me to drop any of the changes, just note them on
GitHub and I will. Right now I'm just trying to fix things that are
not controversial.

You're welcome!
