The synopsis talks about the ability for you to specify zero or more of whatever is called <refspec>, and here we define what _A_ refspec is. Somehow I thought the issue was that we said "<refspec>...::" in the heading of the description without saying zero-or-more, but that is not the case here. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
