add RequireRemoteRefs to PushOptions (#258)
The git protocol itself uses a compare-and-swap mechanism, where changes
send the old and new values and the change is only applied if the old
value matches. This is used to implement the --force-with-lease feature
in git push.
go-git populates the `old` field with the current value of the ref that
is read from the remote. We can implement a convenient (albeit more
limited) form of the --force-with-lease feature just by allowing the
caller to specify particular values for this ref.
Callers can then implement complex multi-step atomic operations by
reading the ref themselves at the start of the process, and passing to
in RequireRemoteRefs at the end. This is also a suitable building block
for implementing --force-with-lease (#101), which is mostly an exercise
in computing the correct hash to require. Hence, this appears to be the
most reasonable API to expose.
