How can you justify mapping 'p' to 'pull' rather than 'push'?

I applaud the effort and think it's unfortunate the value add seems so marginal here. This type of thing boils down to mostly personal preference.

I polled several hundred people during three years. :)

In practice, my teams tend to get the most value-add by using purpose-driven aliases for typical pull/push needs.

For example, the alias `publish` will push a local topic branch up to a continuous delivery server.
