When leaving orphaned commits behind, "git checkout" ends the list
with " ... and %d more." using a plain _(), so translators are unable
to give the correct plural form of the count. Use Q_() so gettext can
pick it. English string output stays the same.

The count here is always 2 or more, because when only one commit is
left over, the suggest_reattach() function lists it instead of printing
this message. I still used Q_() because some languages, like Polish,
use different words for 2-4 and for 5 or more.
