Documentation: mention branches rather than heads

Browse source 
The "matching refs" semantics works only on matching branches these days.
Instead of using "heads" which traditionally has been used more or less
interchangeably with "refs", say "branch" explicitly here.

@ -57,8 +57,8 @@ Pushing an empty <src> allows you to delete the <dst> ref from
the remote repository.

The special refspec `:` (or `+:` to allow non-fast forward updates)
directs git to push "matching" heads: for every head that exists on
the local side, the remote side is updated if a head of the same name
directs git to push "matching" branches: for every branch that exists on
the local side, the remote side is updated if a branch of the same name
already exists on the remote side. This is the default operation mode
if no explicit refspec is found (that is neither on the command line
nor in any Push line of the corresponding remotes file---see below).
