git-push.txt: document the behavior of --repo
As per the code, the --repo <repo> option is equivalent to the <repo> argument to 'git push', but somehow it was documented as something that is more than that. [It exists for historical reasons, back from the time when options had to come before arguments.] Say so. [But not that.] Signed-off-by: Michael J Gruber <git@drmicha.warpmail.net> Helped-by: Eric Sunshine <sunshine@sunshineco.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

--repo=<repository>::
|

This option is only relevant if no <repository> argument is
|
||||
passed in the invocation. In this case, 'git push' derives the
|
||||
remote name from the current branch: If it tracks a remote
|
||||
branch, then that remote repository is pushed to. Otherwise,
|

the name "origin" is used. For this latter case, this option

can be used to override the name "origin". In other words,

--------------------------

+
|

is that #1 always pushes to "public" whereas #2 pushes to "public"
|
||||
only if the current branch does not track a remote branch. This is
|

useful if you write an alias or script around 'git push'.
|

This option is equivalent to the <repository> argument. If both

are specified, the command-line argument takes precedence.
