Compare this to --force which allows anything to be pushed. With --new-branch,
only changesets to named branches not present on the and changesets not
introducing additional heads on existing branches are allowed.

For servers with branchmap support, the algorithm now works as follows:
1. A list of branches in outgoing changesets is created.
2. Using the remote branchmap, a check for new branches is performed.
3. A map (from branch to head list) of locally known remote heads before
the push is created, and one which, after step 4, will contain the locally
known remote heads after the push.
4. The post-push head map is updated with the outgoing changesets, using the
branch cache update mechanism.
5. A check for new heads is performed, by comparing the length of the head list
before and after push, for each branch. If there are new heads, an error
depending on whether or not there are incoming changes on the branch,
is returned.
6. If the push is allowed, a warning is written if there are incoming changes
on any branches involved in the push.
For old servers, an algorithm similar to step 4-6 above is used to check for
new topological heads only.
Two bugs are also fixed:
1. Sometimes you would be allowed to push new branch heads without --force.
A test for this case was added.
2. You would get the "note: unsynced remote changes!" warning if there were any
incoming changesets, even if they were on unrelated branches.
When creating new branches and merging them into existing ones, you would
sometimes be able to push some changesets (the existing branches) without using
--force, even when that creates a new head on the remote.
A test which triggers the error has been added.
Fixing issue179.
The algorithm checks if there not more new heads on the remote side than heads
which become non-heads due to getting children.
Pushing this repo:
m
/\
3 3a|
|/ /
2 2a
|/
1
to a repo only having 1, 2 and 3 didn't abort requiring --force before.
Added test cases for this and some doc strings for used methods.
Some systems show "Thu Jan 01" instead of "Thu Jan 1", which breaks tests.
Using "1000000" yields "Mon Jan 12 13:46:40 1970", which looks the same on
all systems.
