Obviously `stg push` and `git push` are different commands, but to your point, yes, they have very different meanings and the overlap is somewhat unfortunate.

StGit uses push/pop in the sense of pushing and popping patches to/from the patch stack. An alternative such as apply/unapply would be valid and could be aliased, but this ship sailed 16 years ago (StGit has been around almost as long as Git) and so is unlikely to change.

In true git fashion. Every command should have at least two meanings depending on when and where you run it.
