Well, you're missing the fact that it not only causes those to
be downloaded, but it also causes the defaults to be ignored,
which is why you don't get the other stuff. You can still tell
git to fetch anything else you want in addition.

I was no longer missing it at the time I posted. 

But that is indeed what I was missing when I first encountered 
the behavior. The purpose of posting was to point out that 
with  a very small change in the documentation,  I would not
have missed it.
