Fix instructions for omitting "have" lines
In 002d348 (Describe how to omit "have" lines, 2015-11-14), we added instructions on how to omit "have" lines originating from other package repositories. Fix those instructions such that the HEAD ref of the repository is transferred properly. Signed-off-by: Lukas Fleischer <lfleischer@archlinux.org>
