That wouldn't work fine because there is no mention of push options -
hence the modification in c714e45f to talk about push options, but that
is also not accurate because push options (and, more importantly, the
associated flush-pkt) are not sent if the client doesn't have any.

I've updated "update-request" to "update-requests" to show that this is
the "list of reference update requests" mentioned in the previous paragraph.
This is only the ref part - I've chosen to describe push options and
packfile in separate sections, because there are very specific rules
that determine whether the push option section must be included or omitted.

Changed to "MUST be the same, modulo the prefix".
