Sounds sensible. It is a bit unsatisfying that we cannot make the glossary entry the single source of the authoritative truth, but the refspec syntax needs to be slightly different between fetches and pushes (hence Documention/git-push.txt does not include the same Documentation/pull-fetch-param.txt like Documentation/git-fetch.txt does), so this is probably the best we could do.
