i get the desire for one word labels - but im not sure how good
"sync" is. its not clear in the GUI what it does, and frankly, even
reading your description doesnt clear up for me what it does. i
guess i would need to run "--help" and see what "--force-current"
does to figure it out. that just seems like more work than it
should be.

This could be improved by having a tooltip on the GUI item, explaining in a sentence or two, what it does.

There already is a tooltip:

"Sets all packages to the version available from the package respository, downgrading if necessary."
