This makes it consistent with the instance later in the document, where
it already says "--namespace=<path>". Ok.

However, this is documented as "equivalent to setting the GIT_NAMESPACE
environment variable". And gitnamespaces(7) says
"GIT_NAMESPACE=<namespace>", so that is still inconsistent. I also see
this:

  Note that namespaces which include a / will expand to a hierarchy of
  namespaces; for example, GIT_NAMESPACE=foo/bar will store refs under
  refs/namespaces/foo/refs/namespaces/bar/

So foo/bar isn't a file path. gitnamespaces(7) uses "path", "namespace"
and "namespace path" sort of interchangeably. Even so, I think it could
be a good idea to avoid "path" since it could give the wrong kind of
ideas.

I wonder if this patch should instead change both --namespace=<name> and
--namespace=<path> to --namespace=<namespace> and give some motivation
such as "Make the placeholder consistent with the gitnamespaces
document." What do you think?
