The way it is labeled might be misleading to some people (although personally I do not find it so). It says "Typically such a variable may look like this" and shows the fetch refspec that is given to a repository cloned from anywhere by default. I think it might help to update the text to clearly state that the sample one is what you get in a clone without doing anything special. The example is primarily there to show you how each part of the fetch refspec is used in the operations described in the following paragraphs,and it is not there to tell you that you have to add duplicate yourself to make these things described in the following paragraphs to happen.
