Do not delete a changelog if mob start-ing with included changes on origin-less branch

[LifeofMichal]

If I make a branch and by occasional accident I forget to initially push it, I would like this #"#€"€ tool to please not entirely NUKE my changelog without a history trace (yes, without a history trace) and just tell me "You knobhead, push your branch first".

I cannot be the only person this happened to.

Hi Michal, which version of mob do you use? I tried to reproduce this issue as followed, but mob already tells you that the origin branch is missing:

➜  test-project git:(main) git checkout -b test
Switched to a new branch 'test'
➜  test-project git:(test) echo "1" > test
➜  test-project git:(test) git add test            
➜  test-project git:(test) git commit -am "commit1"
[test f9eb988] commit1
 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+)
 create mode 100644 test
➜  test-project git:(test) echo "2" > test
➜  test-project git:(test) mob s -i
  git fetch origin --prune
ERROR Remote branch origin/test is missing
👉 To set the upstream branch, use

  git push origin test --set-upstream

Hi @LifeofMichal, I'm sorry this happened to you. I hope you didn't loose too much changes.
Did you try recovering it via reflog?
