push: add shorthand for --force-with-lease branch creation
Allow the empty string to stand in for the null SHA-1 when pushing a new branch, like we do when deleting branches. This means that the following command ensures that `new-branch` is created on the remote (that is, is must not already exist): git push --force-with-lease=new-branch: origin new-branch Signed-off-by: John Keeping <john@keeping.me.uk> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
