Ah ha, someone did use `stg publish`!

I removed it because it was challenging to test and maintain, its semantics are somewhat complex, and it wasn't clear that it provided value to anyone.

If you wouldn't mind making your case on the issue tracker [1], I will reconsider the fate of `stg publish`.

I'm not using it any more, but for a while I used stg publish as a way of working with a stack of patches but also providing other people with a "this branch doesn't rebase, you can pull it" interface. It was also nice when working continuously with the same stack of patches (periodically rebasing them onto a moving upstream, cleaning them up, etc) to have the publish view's commits as a record of "this is the delta since the last publish". But it's been years since I had a need for the functionality...
