As a translator (though not git's because my time is limited and GUI
apps have my priority), I completely agree and support this. There are
other places where a sentence is broken down into many short phrases.
It's hard for a translator to find a good translation in such cases.
I remember there was also a patch about "1 file vs 2 files" in diff
summary, which was rejected because it would break scripts. I think
grammar patches should be allowed at least for interactive use (i.e.
either pager is on, or std{out,err} is tty).
