Documentation / fetch-options.txton commit Teach the --multiple option to 'git fetch' (16679e3)
   1--all::
   2        Fetch all remotes.

   4-a::
   5--append::
   6        Append ref names and object names of fetched refs to the
   7        existing contents of `.git/FETCH_HEAD`.  Without this
   8        option old data in `.git/FETCH_HEAD` will be overwritten.
   9
  10--depth=<depth>::
  11        Deepen the history of a 'shallow' repository created by
  12        `git clone` with `--depth=<depth>` option (see linkgit:git-clone[1])
  13        by the specified number of commits.
  14
  15-f::
  16--force::
  17        When 'git-fetch' is used with `<rbranch>:<lbranch>`
  18        refspec, it refuses to update the local branch
  19        `<lbranch>` unless the remote branch `<rbranch>` it
  20        fetches is a descendant of `<lbranch>`.  This option
  21        overrides that check.
  22
  23-k::
  24--keep::
  25        Keep downloaded pack.

  27ifndef::git-pull[]
  28--multiple::
  29        Allow several <repository> and <group> arguments to be
  30        specified. No <refspec>s may be specified.

  37-n::
  38--no-tags::
  39endif::git-pull[]
  40        By default, tags that point at objects that are downloaded
  41        from the remote repository are fetched and stored locally.
  42        This option disables this automatic tag following.
  43
  44-t::
  45--tags::
  46        Most of the tags are fetched automatically as branch
  47        heads are downloaded, but tags that do not point at
  48        objects reachable from the branch heads that are being
  49        tracked will not be fetched by this mechanism.  This
  50        flag lets all tags and their associated objects be
  51        downloaded.
  52
  53-u::
  54--update-head-ok::
  55        By default 'git-fetch' refuses to update the head which
  56        corresponds to the current branch.  This flag disables the
  57        check.  This is purely for the internal use for 'git-pull'
  58        to communicate with 'git-fetch', and unless you are
  59        implementing your own Porcelain you are not supposed to
  60        use it.
  61
  62--upload-pack <upload-pack>::
  63        When given, and the repository to fetch from is handled
  64        by 'git-fetch-pack', '--exec=<upload-pack>' is passed to
  65        the command to specify non-default path for the command
  66        run on the other end.

  69-q::
  70--quiet::
  71        Pass --quiet to git-fetch-pack and silence any other internally
  72        used git commands.
  73
  74-v::
  75--verbose::
  76        Be verbose.
