I hiccupped while reading this, as the (e.g.) example talks about rstrip
that is not mentioned in the main text that is enhanced by the
example.
If `lstrip=<N>` (`rstrip=<N>`) is appended, strips `<N>`
slash-separated path components from the front (tail) of the
refname (e.g. `%(refname:lstrip=2)` ...
perhaps?

Begin the sentence with cap? I'd rephrase it a bit while at it if I
were doing this:
If `<N>` is a negative number, strip as many path components
as necessary from the specified end to leave `-<N>` path
components.
Other than the above, looks very good to me.
Thanks.
