Subject: doc: fix `update-ref` `symref-create` formatting
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5ae594f30be8a89a9e345e4e5e454f4b92156da1;p=thirdparty%2Fgit.git

doc: fix `update-ref` `symref-create` formatting

`symref-create` should be followed `::`, not `:`. The lack of second
colon (`:`) causes it to appear as regular text (`<p>`) instead of as a
description list term (`<dt>`) in the HTML documentation.
