There are a lot of efforts going on to localize git-gui, including 
technical terms like "push". Personally I don't understand what this 
should be useful for. The command is called "git push"s. So, why should it 
be named differently in the gui.
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"
Because you do not send changes to a _server_. There is no server.
There is just another repo. Hence just "push"
