Confusion over RefSpec

[DeadlySurgeon]

RefSpec is a mapping from local branches to remote references. The format of the refspec is an optional +, followed by :, where is the pattern for references on the remote side and is where those references will be written locally. The + tells Git to update the reference even if it isn’t a fast-forward. eg.: "+refs/heads/:refs/remotes/origin/"

Shouldn't src be on the local side not remote? And shouldn't dst be where the remote is written? The example also hints at that. This in context to git.PushOptions.

Also this kind of tripped me up until I read more about RefSpecs on git-svm.com, but when pushing refspecs it looks more like refs/heads/<branch>:refs/heads/<branch> instead of refs/heads/<branch>:refs/remotes/origin/<branch>.

Took me forever to figure this out. Thanks for the comment.
