The point of these sections is generally to:
1. Give credit where it is due.
2. Give the reader an idea of where to ask questions or
file bug reports.
But they don't do a good job of either case. For (1), they
are out of date and incomplete. A much more accurate answer
can be gotten through shortlog or blame. For (2), the
correct contact point is generally git@vger, and even if you
wanted to cc the contact point, the out-of-date and
incomplete fields mean you're likely sending to somebody
useless.
So let's drop the fields entirely from all manpages except
git(1) itself. We already point people to the mailing list
for bug reports there, and we can update the Authors section
to give credit to the major contributors and point to
shortlog and blame for more information.
Each page has a "This is part of git" footer, so people can
follow that to the main git manpage.

NAME

|
----
|
|
git-ls-remote - List references in a remote repository
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
'git ls-remote' [--heads] [--tags] [-u <exec> | --upload-pack <exec>]
|
|
<repository> [<refs>...]
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
Displays references available in a remote repository along with the associated
|
|
commit IDs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
-h::
|
|
--heads::
|
|
-t::
|
|
--tags::
|
|
Limit to only refs/heads and refs/tags, respectively.
|
|
These options are _not_ mutually exclusive; when given
|
|
both, references stored in refs/heads and refs/tags are
|
|
displayed.
|
|
|
|
-u <exec>::
|
|
--upload-pack=<exec>::
|
|
Specify the full path of 'git-upload-pack' on the remote
|
|
host. This allows listing references from repositories accessed via
|
|
SSH and where the SSH daemon does not use the PATH configured by the
|
|
user.
|
|
|
|
<repository>::
|
|
Location of the repository. The shorthand defined in
|
|
$GIT_DIR/branches/ can be used. Use "." (dot) to list references in
|
|
the local repository.
|
|
|
|
<refs>...::
|
|
When unspecified, all references, after filtering done
|
|
with --heads and --tags, are shown. When <refs>... are
|
|
specified, only references matching the given patterns
|
|
are displayed.
