Subject: [PATCH 3/4] Documentation: mention branches rather than heads
Date: Sun, 18 Jan 2009 15:36:57 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1232289418-25627-4-git-send-email-mail@cup.kalibalik.dk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1232289418-25627-3-git-send-email-mail@cup.kalibalik.dk>
Most of the git push page talks about branches, so make it consistent
also in this paragraph.

if no explicit refspec is found (that is neither on the command line
nor in any Push line of the corresponding remotes file---see below).
