From: AMMAAR-IC <the.ammaar.ic@gmail.com>

The error shown when "git difftool --dir-diff" is given a combined
diff format ('-c' or '--cc') is wrapped in N_(), which only marks the
string for extraction by xgettext and does nothing at runtime. As the
string is passed straight to die(), users always see it in English,
even though it already has translations in the po files.

Use _() instead, and adjust the indentation of the continuation lines
to match.
