DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
-----------
|
2010-01-10 00:33:00 +01:00
|
|
|
Invoked by 'git fetch-pack', learns what
|
2005-07-14 09:08:37 +02:00
|
|
|
objects the other side is missing, and sends them after packing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This command is usually not invoked directly by the end user.
|
2010-01-10 00:33:00 +01:00
|
|
|
The UI for the protocol is on the 'git fetch-pack' side, and the
|
2005-07-14 09:08:37 +02:00
|
|
|
program pair is meant to be used to pull updates from a remote
|
2010-01-10 00:33:00 +01:00
|
|
|
repository. For push operations, see 'git send-pack'.

--stateless-rpc::
|
|
|
|
Perform only a single read-write cycle with stdin and stdout.
|
|
|
|
This fits with the HTTP POST request processing model where
|
|
|
|
a program may read the request, write a response, and must exit.

docs/git: discuss server-side config for GIT_PROTOCOL
The v2 protocol requires that the GIT_PROTOCOL environment variable gets
passed around, but we don't have any documentation describing how this
is supposed to work. In particular, we need to note what server admins
might need to configure to make things work.
The definition of the GIT_PROTOCOL variable is probably the best place
for this, since:
- we deal with multiple transports (ssh, http, etc).
Transport-specific documentation (like the git-http-backend bits
added in the previous commit) are helpful for those transports, but
this gives a broader overview. Plus we do not have a specific
transport endpoint program for ssh, so this is a reasonable place to
mention it.
- the server side of the protocol involves multiple programs. For now,
upload-pack is the only endpoint which uses GIT_PROTOCOL, but that
will likely expand in the future. We're better off with a central
discussion of what the server admin might need to do. However, for
discoverability, this patch adds a pointer from upload-pack's
documentation.
