The answer depends on the reason why you want to drop it from the
example.

That "ALL" is merely a branch name, like "master", etc.  I do not
know how jgarzik names his published branches these days, but back
then ALL there was something that contained all the topics he wanted
others to look at.  And the description of <5> explains it to be
fetching a "specific branch", so that needs to be reworded if we are
to change the example to "from the default branch of a specific
repository" or something.
