`git pr push` only works on checked out branch

[rkdarst]

I tried git pr push non_checked_out_branch_name and it pushed the current HEAD to that name. Is this expected? Should this be changed to first look for branch with that name?

I think this is surprising. If the branch does not exist, I think it should stop and complain. Otherwise this might happen: git pr push sometypo and something else gets pushed.
