You're right. There are already places where the message is
"diff_setup_done failed"

#: builtin/checkout.c:320 builtin/diff.c:302 builtin/merge.c:408
msgid "diff_setup_done failed"
msgstr "diff_setup_done fehlgeschlagen"

We could just translate it in this way. It's not really the same message,
but the same meaning.

I agree. There is also another message (#: builtin/commit.c:1590)
translated in this way. I'll change it both. Thanks

Thanks. I'll spell it out but would leave the term "Konflikt"?!

Oops. I'll change. Thanks

Gah, I misunderstood the values of the placeholders. The reason why I haven't
translate "delete" or "rename" is because they're part of the
"KONFLIKT (%s/delete)"
messages, aren't they? Translate it all would solve the problem. Thanks

Would indeed be nicer, thanks.

"Vorfahre(n)" sounds indeed a bit nicer. I'll change it and
update the glossary.

Thanks.

what about "Zweig $branch_name nicht gefunden"?

Thanks
