git-push.txt: Describe --repo option in more detail

The --repo option was described in a way that the reader would have to
assume that it is the same as the <repository> parameter. But it actually
servers a purpose, which is now written down.

Furthermore, the --mirror option was missing from the synopsis.

DESCRIPTION

This flag disables the check. This can cause the
remote repository to lose commits; use it with care.
--repo=<repo>::
When no repository is specified the command defaults to
"origin"; this overrides it.
--repo=<repository>::
This option is only relevant if no <repository> argument is
passed in the invocation. In this case, 'git-push' derives the
remote name from the current branch: If it tracks a remote
branch, then that remote repository is pushed to. Otherwise,
the name "origin" is used. For this latter case, this option
can be used to override the name "origin". In other words,
the difference between these two commands
+
--------------------------
git push public #1
git push --repo=public #2
--------------------------
+
is that #1 always pushes to "public" whereas #2 pushes to "public"
only if the current branch does not track a remote branch. This is
useful if you write an alias or script around 'git-push'.
