+`--force` overwrites a remote branch with your local branch.
+
+`--force-with-lease` is a safer option that will not overwrite any work on the remote branch if more commits were added to the remote branch (by another team-member or co-worker or what have you). It ensures you do not overwrite someone else work by force pushing.
+
+For now, "some reasonable default" is tentatively defined as "the value of the remote-tracking branch we have for the ref of the remote being updated", and it is an error if we do not have such a remote-tracking branch.
