  21OPTIONS
  22-------
  23-h|--heads, -t|--tags::
  24        Limit to only refs/heads and refs/tags, respectively.
  25        These options are _not_ mutually exclusive; when given
  26        both, references stored in refs/heads and refs/tags are
  27        displayed.
  28
  29-u <exec>, --upload-pack=<exec>::
  30        Specify the full path of gitlink:git-upload-pack[1] on the remote
  31        host. This allows listing references from repositories accessed via
  32        SSH and where the SSH daemon does not use the PATH configured by the
  33        user. Also see the '--exec' option for gitlink:git-peek-remote[1].
  34
  35<repository>::
  36        Location of the repository.  The shorthand defined in
  37        $GIT_DIR/branches/ can be used. Use "." (dot) to list references in
  38        the local repository.
  39
  40<refs>...::
  41        When unspecified, all references, after filtering done
  42        with --heads and --tags, are shown.  When <refs>... are
  43        specified, only references matching the given patterns
  44        are displayed.
