Thanks for the feature request! Although browserpass is not using pass under the hood (the only dependency today is gpg), we do like to be compatible with it - pass doesn't do git pushes, but it does indeed do git commits, so we should consider this as well. I'll transfer this to the extension repo for more visibility, since if we were to do it, it's likely going to involve extension changes as well (e.g. to configure location of git binary).
