+In some specific cases, you may have many packages specified via a
+manifest or a module selection which should all be updated together; for
+these cases, the @option{--target-version} option can be provided to have
+them all refreshed to the same version, as shown in the examples below:

Sometimes the upstream name differs from the package name used in Guix,
and @command{guix refresh} needs a little help. Most updaters honor the
@code{upstream-name} property in package definitions, which can be used
