Otherwise, the sentence "Defaults to HEAD." can be mis-read to mean
that "git checkout -- hello.c" checks-out from HEAD.

The command "git checkout" checks out from the index by default, not
HEAD (the introducing comment were correct, but the detailled
explanation added below were not).

Users were confused about the meaning and use of the --root option.
Notably, since 68c2ec7 (format-patch: show patch text for the root
commit, 2009-01-10), --root has nothing to do with showing the patch
text for the root commit any more.
Shorten and clarify the corresponding paragraph in the DESCRIPTION
section, document --root under OPTIONS, and add an explicit note that
root commits are formatted regardless.

This tries to make the description of ref matching in git push easier

Include examples of using HEAD. The order of examples
introduces new concepts one by one. This pushes the
example of deleting a ref to the end of the list.

The refspec format description was a mix of regexp and BNF, making it
very difficult to read. The format was also wrong: it did not show
that each part of a refspec is optional in different situations.
Rather than having a confusing grammar, just present the format in
informal prose.

The "matching refs" semantics works only on matching branches these days.
Instead of using "heads" which traditionally has been used more or less
interchangeably with "refs", say "branch" explicitly here.

The comment in parentheses is wrong, as one has to leave out both the
colon and <dst>. This situation is covered by the section a few lines
down:
A parameter <ref> without a colon pushes the <ref> from the source
repository to the destination repository under the same name.
So, just remove the parentheses.
