I like to know what is the meaning of this string, I don't know how to translated it:

#: ../app/version.c:132 #, c-format
msgid "git commit %s"

I forgot: perhaps a comment inside the .pot file would be useful.

git is the source control system which is used to store GIMP's source. The act of updating the source is called a "commit" and each such "commit" has it's unique identifier. So basically, a commit identifier is like a version number (the %s in the string will be replaced with that identifier)

I'm not sure this should be translated though, since git is a name of a tool and "commit" is a git specific term which should probably be kept untranslated (I saw the term "commit" in other non-English articles so it's probably best not to translate it).

I'll add a comment to the file as soon as I get to a non-public computer.

Yes, please unmark the string for translation.

Translator comments are not added to the pot file (which is generated), but directly to the C code. In this case though the message should simply not be marked for translation at all.
