Jeff King 8f615493e6 git-push: allow -f as an alias for --force
This was already documented in the options section of the manpage. This
patch implements it, adds it to the usage message, and mentions it at the
top of the manpage.

===========
NAME
----
git-push - Update remote refs along with associated objects
SYNOPSIS
--------
'git-push' [--all] [--tags] [-f | --force] <repository> <refspec>...
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Updates remote refs using local refs, while sending objects
necessary to complete the given refs.
You can make interesting things happen to a repository
every time you push into it, by setting up 'hooks' there. See
documentation for gitlink:git-receive-pack[1].
OPTIONS
-------
<repository>::
The "remote" repository that is destination of a push
operation. See the section <<URLS,GIT URLS>> below.
<refspec>::
The canonical format of a <refspec> parameter is
`+?<src>:<dst>`; that is, an optional plus `+`, followed
by the source ref, followed by a colon `:`, followed by
the destination ref.
+
The <src> side can be an
arbitrary "SHA1 expression" that can be used as an
argument to `git-cat-file -t`. E.g. `master~4` (push
four parents before the current master head).
+
The local ref that matches <src> is used
to fast forward the remote ref that matches <dst>. If
the optional plus `+` is used, the remote ref is updated
even if it does not result in a fast forward update.
+
Note: If no explicit refspec is found, (that is neither
on the command line nor in any Push line of the
corresponding remotes file---see below), then all the
refs that exist both on the local side and on the remote
side are updated.
+
Some short-cut notations are also supported.
+
* `tag <tag>` means the same as `refs/tags/<tag>:refs/tags/<tag>`.
* A parameter <ref> without a colon is equivalent to
<ref>`:`<ref>, hence updates <ref> in the destination from <ref>
in the source.
\--all::
Instead of naming each ref to push, specifies that all
refs be pushed.
\--tags::
All refs under `$GIT_DIR/refs/tags` are pushed, in
addition to refspecs explicitly listed on the command
line.
-f, \--force::
Usually, the command refuses to update a remote ref that is
not a descendant of the local ref used to overwrite it.
This flag disables the check. This can cause the
remote repository to lose commits; use it with care.
