If you were too used to git merge, you would have wrote
HEAD before ref1, so that does not sound plausible ;-).

no, that I have remembered. What I constantly forget is the
space-vs-colon difference.

That statement sounds as if "git pull . ref1:HEAD" makes some
sense and you typed it without colon by mistake.  But it does

exactly.

not make any sense to me; I am puzzled ... what are you trying
to achieve with "git pull . ref1:HEAD"?

merge branch ref1 into current. Is that not a correct refspec?
