Only on the "partial" bit, and not limited to refspec and pathspec.

I think ideally for any key concepts:

 - The glossary should mention what it is and what it is used for;

 - Individual manual pages should mention how it is constructed and
   how it can be used.  To be complete, it may need to start by
   describing what it is and what it is used for, which may have to
   duplicate what we say in the glossary.
