[PATCH] Fixed git-push manpage

From: Jyotirmoy Bhattacharya <hidden>

Subsystem: documentation, the rest · Maintainers: Jonathan Corbet, Linus Torvalds

In git-push it is the remote repository and not the
local repository which is fast forwarded. The description
of the -f option in the git-push manpage gets it the other
way round.
