In fact, I like that so much I think it should be *the* description of
the <refspec> parameter. Much better than just jumping straight into
the syntax.
This patch applies atop your 8/9. I feel strongly that some kind of
reference should accompany this description, and your new CONFIGURED
REMOTE-TRACKING BRANCHES section seems like a good one for the fetch
variant, but since pull's variant doesn't have that section I just
made it link to fetch's doc.
(Also, I'm not sure if "CRTB" is a good link ID for your new section.)
