While "revert" and "cherry-pick" may have localized words in our po/
dictionary, the message uses "%s:" placeholder to identify the Git
operation that is reporting the problem, and the way the end-user
who is getting the message triggered the Git operation was by
running a subcommand of "git", isn't it?  

Isn't it confusing for a user who typed "git revert" to see an error
from _("revert")?  _("Unable to write new index file") is perfectly
fine, though.
