If you don't need 10 hours to do it, please upgrade to latest Git and
Cogito. You may also want to complain to the Ubuntu package maintainer.
If you have some time and some packaging qualifications, you could even
update Git and Cogito Ubuntu packages :-).

It'd be absurd that the translators gave up because Git is difficult to
use. So my first suggestion is to start with Cogito, which doesn't
prevent you from using git commands as you become more familiar with it.
Reading the revised README is not enough; you should spend time reading
the docs, starting from http://git.or.cz and Gitwiki. To give you an
idea, I started using Git/Cogito after having read the Crash course for
CVS users.

Then, you should exercise Cogito view commands (status, branch-ls, log,
diff) and gitk to evaluate the state of your local Git copy of
lilypond.org sources, and see whether you can go on using it, or
restarting from scratch cloning
git://git.sv.gnu.org/lilypond.git#web/master
with Cogito.

This looks good.

Argh, this looks bad. Try to resolve conflicts if any, then do "git add"
on every file, then do "git commit -a", then try to pull again to check
the same problem doesn't appear again.

(I think I'd better give up providing Git advice :-S)

Good luck
