Not that I agree that "push" is a technical word, but perhaps you have a
point. Why should there be such words in the GUI to start with? It's a GUI,
trying to abstract away the command line. Why not have a button "Send" or a
menu entry "Send changes to server", mimicing the "git push" command line
option? Using command line names or showing protocol data directly in a
user-oriented GUI is most often a bad idea.
Or perhaps what we need is an actual translation from "gitish" to English,
which would have
msgid "Push"
msgstr "Send changes to server"
?
