Merge lp:~jelmer/brz/reference-force into lp:brz

[Jelmer Vernooij]

Support forcing the setting of a reference.

Useful for testing.

[Martin Packman (gz)]

Change seems fine. The flag named --force is one to be careful with, tends to be easy to reach for but ambiguous. Fine here though? Not a commonly used command. Alternative would be `--unversioned` and fail in the inverse, or `--even-if-unversioned` or something else longish.

review: Approve

[Jelmer Vernooij (jelmer)]

How about --force-unversioned?
