  sadly, it does not fixes the issue I reported with git-pull.1 (e.g.)
that reads:

   <refspec>
       The canonical format of a <refspec> parameter is ?<src>:<dst>; that

whereas it should be:

   <refspec>
       The canonical format of a <refspec> parameter is +?<src>:<dst>; that


But I've not seen any serious or even noticeable regression here.
