Older versions of AsciiDoc would convert the "--" in
"--option" into an emdash. According to 565e135
(Documentation: quote double-dash for AsciiDoc, 2011-06-29),
this is fixed in AsciiDoc 8.3.0. According to bf17126, we
don't support anything older than 8.4.1 anyway, so we no
longer need to worry about quoting.
Even though this does not change the output at all, there
are a few good reasons to drop the quoting:
1. It makes the source prettier to read.
2. We don't quote consistently, which may be confusing when
reading the source.
3. Asciidoctor does not like the quoting, and renders a
literal backslash.

git-fetch-pack - Receive missing objects from another repository
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
'git fetch-pack' [--all] [--quiet|-q] [--keep|-k] [--thin] [--include-tag]
|
|
[--upload-pack=<git-upload-pack>]
|
|
[--depth=<n>] [--no-progress]
|
|
[-v] <repository> [<refs>...]
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
Usually you would want to use 'git fetch', which is a
|
|
higher level wrapper of this command, instead.
|
|
|
|
Invokes 'git-upload-pack' on a possibly 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 the local refs/ hierarchy 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.
|
|
|
|
--stdin::
|
|
Take the list of refs from stdin, one per line. If there
|
|
are refs specified on the command line in addition to this
|
|
option, then the refs from stdin are processed after those
|
|
on the command line.
|
|
+
|
|
If '--stateless-rpc' is specified together with this option then
|
|
the list of refs must be in packet format (pkt-line). Each ref must
|
|
be in a separate packet, and the list must end with a flush packet.
|
|
|
|
-q::
|
|
--quiet::
|
|
Pass '-q' flag to 'git unpack-objects'; this makes the
|
|
cloning process less verbose.
|
|
|
|
-k::
|
|
--keep::
|
|
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::
|
|
Fetch a "thin" pack, which records objects in deltified form based
|
|
on objects not included in the pack to reduce network traffic.
|
|
|
|
--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.
|
|
'git-upload-pack' treats the special depth 2147483647 as
|
|
infinite even if there is an ancestor-chain that long.
|
|
|
|
--no-progress::
|
|
Do not show the progress.
|
|
|
|
--check-self-contained-and-connected::
|
|
Output "connectivity-ok" if the received pack is
|
|
self-contained and connected.
|
|
|
|
-v::
|
|
Run verbosely.
|
|
|
|
<repository>::
|
|
The URL to the remote repository.
|
|
|
|
<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.
