The new protocol extension "include-tag" allows the client side of the connection (fetch-pack) to request that the server side of the native git protocol (upload-pack / pack-objects) use --include-tag as it prepares the packfile, thus ensuring that an annotated tag object will be included in the resulting packfile if the object it refers to was also included into the packfile.

NAME

|
|
git-fetch-pack - Receive missing objects from another repository
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git-fetch-pack' [--all] [--quiet|-q] [--keep|-k] [--thin] [--include-tag] [--upload-pack=<git-upload-pack>] [--depth=<n>] [--no-progress] [-v] [<host>:]<directory> [<refs>...]
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
Usually you would want to use linkgit:git-fetch[1] which is a
|
|
higher level wrapper of this command instead.
|
|
|
|
Invokes 'git-upload-pack' on a potentially remote repository,
|
|
and asks it to send objects missing from this repository, to
|
|
update the named heads. The list of commits available locally
|
|
is found out by scanning local $GIT_DIR/refs/ and sent to
|
|
'git-upload-pack' running on the other end.
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
-------
|
|
\--all::
|
|
Fetch all remote refs.
|
|
|
|
\--quiet, \-q::
|
|
Pass '-q' flag to 'git-unpack-objects'; this makes the
|
|
cloning process less verbose.
|
|
|
|
\--keep, \-k::
|
|
Do not invoke 'git-unpack-objects' on received data, but
|
|
create a single packfile out of it instead, and store it
|
|
in the object database. If provided twice then the pack is
|
|
locked against repacking.
|
|
|
|
\--thin::
|
|
Spend extra cycles to minimize the number of objects to be sent.
|
|
Use it on slower connection.
|
|
|
|
\--include-tag::
|
|
If the remote side supports it, annotated tags objects will
|
|
be downloaded on the same connection as the other objects if
|
|
the object the tag references is downloaded. The caller must
|
|
otherwise determine the tags this option made available.
|
|
|
|
\--upload-pack=<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).
|
|
|
|
\--exec=<git-upload-pack>::
|
|
Same as \--upload-pack=<git-upload-pack>.
|
|
|
|
\--depth=<n>::
|
|
Limit fetching to ancestor-chains not longer than n.
|
|
|
|
\--no-progress::
|
|
Do not show the progress.
|
|
|
|
\-v::
|
|
Run verbosely.
|
|
|
|
<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.
|
|
|
|
<refs>...::
|
|
The remote heads to update from. This is relative to
|
|
$GIT_DIR (e.g. "HEAD", "refs/heads/master"). When
|
|
unspecified, update from all heads the remote side has.
