Today I sat down and figured it out. It took some experiments and a little reading of the source. Here I offer some updates to the refspec documentation, so that others can hopefully learn it faster than I did. As I expect some changes to be more controversial than others, I have split it up in several small parts. Feel free to squash. There is a risk that I have changed some things to be wrong. I wanted to make this update while I was still a frustrated newbie. Anders
