| | | | | | | | | | | While b259f09 made git-push output a better error message for 'git-push --all --tags', this commit fixes the synopsis in the documentation.

| * Documentation: rework src/dst description in git pushAnders Melchiorsen2009-01-251-11/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This tries to make the description of ref matching in git push easier to read. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, though. Signed-off-by: Anders Melchiorsen <mail@cup.kalibalik.dk> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

| * Documentation: simplify refspec format descriptionJunio C Hamano2009-01-252-9/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The refspec format description was a mix of regexp and BNF, making it very difficult to read. The format was also wrong: it did not show that each part of a refspec is optional in different situations. Rather than having a confusing grammar, just present the format in informal prose.
