Digging into this some more - the obvious[1] answer would have been to add:
Push: refs/heads/master:master

to .git/remotes. However, this doesn't work. It's cogito's fault. in
cg-Xlib it does this:
 [ ! -s "$_git/HEAD" ] || { _git_head="$(git-symbolic-ref HEAD)";
_git_head="${_git_head#refs/heads/}"; }

This _git_head goes on to be used as the local refspec in cg-push. So,
the first assignment there sets it to 'refs/heads/master' (the right
answer) and then the second strips it back to 'master' (the ambiguous
answer). So, plain 'cg-push' will not work with stg, you need to do:
cg-push -r refs/heads/master

This looks like a bug, I'll report it to the cogito folks.

[1] ok not *that* obvious, I can't find any docs for this file.
