It might be an accurate *description*, but that doesn't make it an
appropriate *name* for the operation. The name should be chosen so that
a user, with the desired operation in mind, will easily bring to mind
the correct command.

So, I agree with previous suggestions that the name be chosen so that it
speaks to the *purpose* of the user when invoking it. “I want this push
to be lossy” isn't something that the user will be thinking; “I want to
push to a non-Bazaar branch” seems closer to me, hence ‘--foreign’.
