Subject: fetch doc: src side of refspec could be full SHA-1

fetch doc: src side of refspec could be full SHA-1

Since a9d34933 ("Merge branch 'fm/fetch-raw-sha1'", 2015-06-01) we
allow to fetch by an object name when the other side accepts such a
request, but we never updated the documentation to match.

 by a colon `:`, followed by the destination ref <dst>.
-The colon can be omitted when <dst> is empty.

 `tag <tag>` means the same as `refs/tags/<tag>:refs/tags/<tag>`;
 it requests fetching everything up to the given tag.
