git-fetch-script(1)
===================
v0.1, July 2005
NAME
----
git-fetch-script - Download objects and a head from another repository.
SYNOPSIS
--------
'git-fetch-script' <repository> [ <head> | tag <tag> ]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Fetches a named head or a tag from another repository, along
with the objects necessary to complete that head or tag. The
head to pull defaults to HEAD if unspecified. The head or tag
fetched from the remote repository is stored in
$GIT_DIR/FETCH_HEAD.
When a <tag> is specified, the <tag> fetched from the remote is
also copied to the local $GIT_DIR/tags/<tag> file. When no
<head> nor <tag> is specified, and <repository> was specified
with the short-hand notation (i.e. naming a file under the
$GIT_DIR/branches directory), the head fetched from the remote
repository is also copied to the local $GIT_DIR/heads/<repository>
file.

<repository>::
The "remote" repository to pull from. One of the
following notations can be used to name the repository
to pull from:
Rsync URL
rsync://remote.machine/path/to/repo.git/
HTTP(s) URL
http://remote.machine/path/to/repo.git/
GIT URL
git://remote.machine/path/to/repo.git/
remote.machine:/path/to/repo.git/
Local directory
/path/to/repo.git/
In addition to that, as a short-hand, the name of a file
in $GIT_DIR/branches directory can be specified; the
named file should contain a single line, a URL in one of
the above formats, optionally followed by a hash '#' and
the name of remote head.
<head>::
The remote head name to fetch from. That is, make the
objects reachable from the commit recorded in
$GIT_DIR/refs/heads/<head> in the remote repository
available locally.
tag <tag>::
The remote head tag to fetch from. That is, make the
objects reachable from the commit recorded in
$GIT_DIR/refs/tags/<tag> in the remote repository
available locally.

It is likely that you will be pulling from the same remote
repository from time to time. As a short hand, you can store
the remote repository URL in a file under .git/branches/
directory, like this:
mkdir -p .git/branches
echo rsync://kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git/ \
>.git/branches/linus
and use the filenae to "git pull" instead of the full URL.
The contents of a file under .git/branches can even be a prefix
of a full URL, like this:
echo rsync://kernel.org/pub/.../jgarzik/
>.git/branches/jgarzik
Examples.
(1) git pull linus
(2) git pull linus tag v0.99.1
(3) git pull jgarzik/netdev-2.6.git/ e100
the above are equivalent to:
(1) git pull rsync://kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git/ HEAD
(2) git pull rsync://kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git/ tag v0.99.1
(3) git pull rsync://kernel.org/pub/.../jgarzik/netdev-2.6.git e100
