[Kyle Meyer]

Update the description of --force to use '<start-point>' rather than
'<startpoint>' to match the spelling used everywhere else in the
git-branch documentation.

Thanks.  This <startpoint> was written in 2017, and all other lines
that say "start-point", except for one, blame on commits made in
2019-2022, but they have been inherited from older versions.

Apparently we missed to convert this single one for consistency.

Good find.  Will queue.  Thanks.
