Re: stg pop/push -a nitpick: not handling deleted files

stg pop: git-read-tree failed (local changes maybe?)

I don't think it's an StGIT-specific issue, git-read-tree failed to
switch the working tree from one commit to another because a file
would be overwritten. It is probably safer to fail in this situation.
