Without this, there is no way to specify a remote executable when invoking git-pull/git-fetch as there is for git-clone. [jc: I have a mild suspicion that this is a broken environment (aka sysadmin disservice). It may be legal to configure your sshd to spawn named program without involving shell at all, and if your sysadmin does so and you have your git programs under your home directory, you would need something like this, but then I suspect you would need such workaround everywhere, not just git. But we have these options we can use to work around the issue, so there is no strong reason not to reject this patch, either. ] Signed-off-by: Michal Ostrowski <mostrows@watson.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

-a, \--append::
|
|
Append ref names and object names of fetched refs to the
|
|
existing contents of `.git/FETCH_HEAD`. Without this
|
|
option old data in `.git/FETCH_HEAD` will be overwritten.
|
|
|
|
--upload-pack <upload-pack>::
|
|
-u <upload-pack>::
|
|
When given, and the repository to fetch from is handled
|
|
by 'git-fetch-pack', '--exec=<upload-pack>' is passed to
|
|
the command to specify non-default path for the command
|
|
run on the other end.
|
|
|
|
-f, \--force::
|
|
When `git-fetch` is used with `<rbranch>:<lbranch>`
|
|
refspec, it refuses to update the local branch
|
|
`<lbranch>` unless the remote branch `<rbranch>` it
|
|
fetches is a descendant of `<lbranch>`. This option
|
|
overrides that check.
|
|
|
|
\--no-tags::
|
|
By default, `git-fetch` fetches tags that point at
|
|
objects that are downloaded from the remote repository
|
|
and stores them locally. This option disables this
|
|
automatic tag following.
|
|
|
|
-t, \--tags::
|
|
Most of the tags are fetched automatically as branch
|
|
heads are downloaded, but tags that do not point at
|
|
objects reachable from the branch heads that are being
|
|
tracked will not be fetched by this mechanism. This
|
|
flag lets all tags and their associated objects be
|
|
downloaded.
|
|
|
|
-k, \--keep::
|
|
Keep downloaded pack.
|
|
|
|
-u, \--update-head-ok::
|
|
By default `git-fetch` refuses to update the head which
|
|
corresponds to the current branch. This flag disables the
|
|
check. Note that fetching into the current branch will not
|
|
update the index and working directory, so use it with care.
