  11[verse]
  12'git-upload-pack' [--[no-]strict] [--timeout=<n>] [--stateless-rpc]
  13                  [--advertise-refs] <directory>
  14DESCRIPTION
  15-----------
  16Invoked by 'git fetch-pack', learns what
  17objects the other side is missing, and sends them after packing.
  18
  19This command is usually not invoked directly by the end user.
  20The UI for the protocol is on the 'git fetch-pack' side, and the
  21program pair is meant to be used to pull updates from a remote
  22repository.  For push operations, see 'git send-pack'.

  25OPTIONS
  26-------
  27
  28--[no-]strict::
  29        Do not try <directory>/.git/ if <directory> is no Git directory.
  30
  31--timeout=<n>::
  32        Interrupt transfer after <n> seconds of inactivity.
  33
  34--stateless-rpc::
  35        Perform only a single read-write cycle with stdin and stdout.
  36        This fits with the HTTP POST request processing model where
  37        a program may read the request, write a response, and must exit.
  38
  39--advertise-refs::
  40        Only the initial ref advertisement is output, and the program exits
  41        immediately. This fits with the HTTP GET request model, where
  42        no request content is received but a response must be produced.
  43
  44<directory>::
  45        The repository to sync from.
