It is misleading to mention that <ref> that does not store is to fetch the ref into FETCH_HEAD, because a refspec that does store is also to fetch the LHS into FETCH_HEAD. It is doubly misleading to list it as part of "short-cut". <ref> stands for a refspec that has it on the LHS with a colon and an empty RHS, and that definition should be given at the beginning of the entry where the format is defined. Tentatively remove this misleading description, which leaves the `tag <tag>` as the only true short-hand, so move it at the beginning of the entry.
