The phrase "short-hand" refers to "linus" in the above example.
I.e. the name of the file in $GIT_DIR/remotes that records the
URL (among other things).
You can only say either "branchname" or "tag tagname" for pull,
because of the way underlying git native protocol works (it may
not be too hard to extend it, but I haven't looked into it nor
particularly interested in looking into it at the moment).
