Re: [PATCH] doc: attempt to clarify a blurry sentence.

Yes, your text is clear. I realize now I miss-read the line as if it was:

   If git push [<repository>] without any <refspec> argument is set, to 
-update some ref at the destination with <src> with....

I mentally placed the comma there and then I could not get pass that 
(and for me there was no verb there to start with so I though it was the 
git-doc lingua).

But the main problem I have I guess is that the line refers to and , but 
those comes from the ref-spec, but the whole line is about when ref-spec 
is not specified so the placeholders and are not valid. Also your 
clarification contain <src> and <dst> but again without ref-spec that is 
not defined.
