Subject: Make <refname> documentation more consistent.
X-Git-Tag: v1.7.12-rc1~18^2~1
X-Git-Url: http://git.tremily.us/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=89ce391b8edae97bbfd0fdb33b4c252b6fd0dc53;p=git.git

Make <refname> documentation more consistent.

Formerly, the documentation for <refname> would occasionally say
<name> instead of <refname>. Now it uniformly uses <refname>.
