Some people push to a different branch (or even remote) than they pull from. One example is described in #3437. Our logic of when to request a force push is not appropriate for these workflows: we check the configured upstream branch for divergence, but that's the one you pull from. We should instead check the push-to branch for divergence.
This branch implements this, but in a very hacky way. The approach is probably fine, but we need to find better names for the added fields, and clean up the API of the models.Branch class. For now this is only meant as a quick proof of concept.
Fixes #3437.
