These are indeed in the Tk libs. Unfortunately, there is no straight forward way to change the button text for tk_messageBox. I'll probably submit a patch to Tcl core for this.
In the mean time, if this is important, there are 2 ways around this:
1) override the button text in the msgcat. Tk does it's own msgcat internally (under the Tk namespace), and that's what prevents msgcat from changing these. You can see these under msgs directory where Tk is installed (/usr/local/tk8.4/msgs on my system). So, you would have to override for each language specified in that directory (if it warrants overriding). So, somewhere in the git-gui, you would have to do something like:
namespace eval ::Tk {
::msgcat::mcset en_us &OK <new_term>
::msgcat::mcset en_us &Cancel <new_term>
::msgcat::mcset en_us &Yes <new_term>
::msgcat::mcset en_us &No <new_term>
<continue for each language, if needed>
}
2) Re-write the tk_messageBox, to include an option to specify the button text. This wouldn't be too hard actually, but this would live with git-gui.
I don't think option #1 is robust enough, but would be the easiest approach. Note also that this would only be for unix platforms, since for windows and Mac, it calls the platform's equivalent.
