Following what appears to be the predominant style, format
names of commands and commandlines both as `teletype text`.
While we're at it, add articles ("a" and "the") in some
places, italicize the name of the command in the manual page
synopsis line, and add a comma or two where it seems appropriate.

NAME
|
|
----
|
|
git-fetch - Download objects and refs from another repository
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git fetch' <options> <repository> <refspec>...
|
|
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
Fetches named heads or tags from another repository, along with
|
|
the objects necessary to complete them.
|
|
|
|
The ref names and their object names of fetched refs are stored
|
|
in `.git/FETCH_HEAD`. This information is left for a later merge
|
|
operation done by `git-merge`.
|
|
|
|
When <refspec> stores the fetched result in tracking branches,
|
|
the tags that point at these branches are automatically
|
|
followed. This is done by first fetching from the remote using
|
|
the given <refspec>s, and if the repository has objects that are
|
|
pointed by remote tags that it does not yet have, then fetch
|
|
those missing tags. If the other end has tags that point at
|
|
branches you are not interested in, you will not get them.
