In the text, the agument of -m is <master> which should be used in the
command synopsis, too.

Err... that is incorrect without further surgery. <refspec> is either
<ref>:<ref>, <ref> or some other exotic case; in the form <ref>:<ref>
it can include globbing. The fragment above talks about situation
where <refspec> is <ref>, and does not contain colon.
