Something like 'push --shove' is very funny and apt after you know what
it's for, but not useful before it, because as a command name it doesn't
give a good idea as to what it's actually for.  By contrast something
like push-foreign or push --foreign gives you a pretty good idea what it
does even before you read the 'How do I push to another VCS?' documentation.
