   9SYNOPSIS
  10--------
  11'git http-push' [--all] [--dry-run] [--force] [--verbose] <url> <ref> [<ref>...]

  13DESCRIPTION
  14-----------
  15Sends missing objects to remote repository, and updates the
  16remote branch.
  17
  18*NOTE*: This command is temporarily disabled if your libcurl
  19is older than 7.16, as the combination has been reported
  20not to work and sometimes corrupts repository.
  21
  22OPTIONS
  23-------
  24--all::
  25        Do not assume that the remote repository is complete in its
  26        current state, and verify all objects in the entire local
  27        ref's history exist in the remote repository.
  28
  29--force::
  30        Usually, the command refuses to update a remote ref that
  31        is not an ancestor of the local ref used to overwrite it.
  32        This flag disables the check.  What this means is that
  33        the remote repository can lose commits; use it with
  34        care.
  35
  36--dry-run::
  37        Do everything except actually send the updates.
  38
  39--verbose::
  40        Report the list of objects being walked locally and the
  41        list of objects successfully sent to the remote repository.
  42
  43-d::
  44-D::
  45        Remove <ref> from remote repository.  The specified branch
  46        cannot be the remote HEAD.  If -d is specified the following
  47        other conditions must also be met:
  48
  49        - Remote HEAD must resolve to an object that exists locally
  50        - Specified branch resolves to an object that exists locally
  51        - Specified branch is an ancestor of the remote HEAD
  52
  53<ref>...::
  54        The remote refs to update.

  57Specifying the Refs
  58-------------------
  59
  60A '<ref>' specification can be either a single pattern, or a pair
  61of such patterns separated by a colon ":" (this means that a ref name
  62cannot have a colon in it).  A single pattern '<name>' is just a
  63shorthand for '<name>:<name>'.
  64
  65Each pattern pair consists of the source side (before the colon)
  66and the destination side (after the colon).  The ref to be
  67pushed is determined by finding a match that matches the source
  68side, and where it is pushed is determined by using the
  69destination side.
  70
  71 - It is an error if <src> does not match exactly one of the
  72   local refs.
  73
  74 - If <dst> does not match any remote ref, either
  75
  76   * it has to start with "refs/"; <dst> is used as the
  77     destination literally in this case.
  78
  79   * <src> == <dst> and the ref that matched the <src> must not
  80     exist in the set of remote refs; the ref matched <src>
  81     locally is used as the name of the destination.
  82
  83Without '--force', the <src> ref is stored at the remote only if
  84<dst> does not exist, or <dst> is a proper subset (i.e. an
  85ancestor) of <src>.  This check, known as "fast-forward check",
  86is performed in order to avoid accidentally overwriting the
  87remote ref and lose other peoples' commits from there.
  88
  89With '--force', the fast-forward check is disabled for all refs.
  90
  91Optionally, a <ref> parameter can be prefixed with a plus '+' sign
  92to disable the fast-forward check only on that ref.
