git-fetch-pack(1)
=================
v0.1, July 2005
NAME
----
git-fetch-pack - Receive missing objects from another repository.
SYNOPSIS
--------
fetch-pack: start multi-head pulling. This is a beginning of resurrecting the multi-head pulling support for git-fetch-pack command. The git-fetch-script wrapper still only knows about fetching a single head, without renaming, so it is not very useful unless you directly call git-fetch-pack itself yet. It also fixes a longstanding obsolete description of how the command discovers the list of local commits.

update the named heads. The list of commits available locally

This command degenerates to download everything to complete the
asked refs from the remote side when the local side does not
have a common ancestor commit.

OPTIONS
-------
-q::
Pass '-q' flag to 'git-unpack-objects'; this makes the
cloning process less verbose.
--exec=<git-upload-pack>::
Use this to specify the path to 'git-upload-pack' on the
remote side, if is not found on your $PATH.
Installations of sshd ignores the user's environment
setup scripts for login shells (e.g. .bash_profile) and
your privately installed GIT may not be found on the system
default $PATH. Another workaround suggested is to set
up your $PATH in ".bashrc", but this flag is for people
who do not want to pay the overhead for non-interactive
shells by having a lean .bashrc file (they set most of
the things up in .bash_profile).
<host>::
A remote host that houses the repository. When this
part is specified, 'git-upload-pack' is invoked via
ssh.
<directory>::
The repository to sync from.

$GIT_DIR (e.g. "HEAD", "refs/heads/master"). When
unspecified, update from all heads the remote side has.
