doc: correct misleading descriptions for --shallow-exclude
The documentation for the --shallow-exclude option to clone/fetch/etc. claims that the option takes a revision, but it does not. As per upload-pack.c's process_deepen_not(), it passes the option to expand_ref() and dies if it does not find exactly one ref matching the name passed. Further, this has always been the case ever since these options were introduced by the commits merged in a460ea4a3cb1 (Merge branch 'nd/shallow-deepen', 2016-10-10). Fix the documentation to match the implementation. Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
