I think this is the right thing to do, but your commit message made me
pause for a second. When you say "placeholders", I think you mean %s,
etc. And yes there aren't any here, but that is not the reason not to
translate. The reason not to translate is that the strings are commands
which are given to a machine.

So maybe something like:

  There are no human-readable parts of these strings; the command you
  type is still "git maintenance" even in other languages.

Regardless, the patch looks good to me. Thanks for catching it.
