Is there anyway to set up RStudio so it's not necessary to manually close the git commit and git push windows after completing these tasks, unless there's a problem? I'm not so fond of popup windows...

if you don't want the pop up menus then the easiest solution would probably be to execute your git commands from the terminal tab in RStudio. Alternatively, you can always use the ctrl+w/cmd+w keyboard shortcut to close the popup windows which is pretty quick.

Awesome, thanks. I forgot about the shell option from within RStudio.
In the last version of RSTUDIO, there is a new terminal pane that makes a lot easier to work with git command line. Way better!

Oh wow... what a difference! Thanks!
Just to add a +1 to the OP: it feels strange to me that there is a pane for Git (or other VCS) in the RStudio UI but when you actually want to use the git commands, they don't happen in that pane but in a "Review Changes" pop-up window instead. It would seem to be better if the Git pane could actually handle the commit and push process "internally".

My solution to this now - bit of lateral thinking - is to cut the Gordian knot and just remove the VCS connection from RStudio and use my preferred external Git client.
(I'm not confident enough yet with Git to use the terminal, I am happier with a GUI).
