It is only possible to delete branches on remotes by specifying
the long '--delete' flag. The `git-branch` command, which can be
used to delete local branches with the same '--delete' flag, also
accepts the shorthand '-d'. This may cause confusion for users
which are frequently using the shorthand form of deleting local
branches and subsequently try to use the same shorthand for
`git-push`, which will fail.
Fix this usability issue by adding the '-d' shorthand to
`git-push` and document it.
