Subject: [PATCH] doc: fix `update-ref` `symref-create` formatting

From: "Sam Bostock via GitGitGadget" <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 09 Dec 2025 06:23:39 +0000

From: Sam Bostock <[email-masked]>

`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.
