[PATCH v4 0/2] advise about force-pushing as an alternative to reconciliation

Many times now, I have seen novices do the following:

1. Start work on their own personal topic branch
2. Push the branch to origin
3. Rebase the branch onto origin/master
4. Try to push again, but Git says they need to pull
5. Pull and make a mess trying to reconcile the older topic branch with
   the rebased topic branch

Help avoid this mistake by giving advice that mentions force-pushing, rather than assuming that the user always wants to do reconciliation.

Changes from v3:
- Update the tests
- Don't explicitly credit Junio
