The --advertise-refs documentation in git-upload-pack added in9812f2136b(upload-pack.c: use parse-options API, 2016-05-31) hasn't been entirely true ever since v2 support was implemented ine52449b672(connect: request remote refs using v2, 2018-03-15). Under v2 we don't advertise the refs at all, but rather dump the capabilities header. This option has always been an obscure internal implementation detail, it wasn't even documented for git-receive-pack. Since it has exactly one user let's rename it to --http-backend-info-refs, which is more accurate and points the reader in the right direction. Let's also cross-link this from the protocol v1 and v2 documentation. I'm retaining a hidden --advertise-refs alias in case there's any external users of this, and making both options hidden to the bash completion (as with most other internal-only options).

==================

NAME
|
|
----
|
|
git-upload-pack - Send objects packed back to git-fetch-pack
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
'git-upload-pack' [--[no-]strict] [--timeout=<n>] [--stateless-rpc]
|
|
[--advertise-refs] <directory>
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
Invoked by 'git fetch-pack', learns what
|
|
objects the other side is missing, and sends them after packing.
|
|
|
|
This command is usually not invoked directly by the end user.
|
|
The UI for the protocol is on the 'git fetch-pack' side, and the
|
|
program pair is meant to be used to pull updates from a remote
|
|
repository. For push operations, see 'git send-pack'.
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
--[no-]strict::
|
|
Do not try <directory>/.git/ if <directory> is no Git directory.
|
|
|
|
--timeout=<n>::
|
|
Interrupt transfer after <n> seconds of inactivity.
|
|
|
|
--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.
|
|
|
|
--http-backend-info-refs::
|
|
Used by linkgit:git-http-backend[1] to serve up
|
|
`$GIT_URL/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack` requests. See
|
|
"Smart Clients" in link:technical/http-protocol.html[the HTTP
|
|
transfer protocols] documentation and "HTTP Transport" in
|
|
link:technical/protocol-v2.html[the Git Wire Protocol, Version
|
|
2] documentation. Also understood by
|
|
linkgit:git-receive-pack[1].
|
|
|
|
<directory>::
|
|
The repository to sync from.
