You probably actually had to "stg branch --delete --force", didn't you?

What you want is "stg commit".

I think "stg branch --delete" is pretty clearly named and documented....

The idea I guess was to make it possible to use stgit (and only stgit)
for everything, and never type a git command.  It might have been better
to make stgit only manage patch series, and admit that people should use
git for the rest.  Then it might work more like you expect.
