1ifndef::git-pull[] 2-q:: 3--quiet:: 4 Pass --quiet to git-fetch-pack and silence any other internally 5 used git commands. 6 7-v:: 8--verbose:: 9 Be verbose. 10endif::git-pull[] 11 12-a:: 13--append:: 14 Append ref names and object names of fetched refs to the 15 existing contents of `.git/FETCH_HEAD`. Without this 16 option old data in `.git/FETCH_HEAD` will be overwritten. 17 18--upload-pack <upload-pack>:: 19 When given, and the repository to fetch from is handled 20 by 'git-fetch-pack', '--exec=<upload-pack>' is passed to 21 the command to specify non-default path for the command 22 run on the other end. 23 24-f:: 25--force:: 26 When 'git-fetch' is used with `<rbranch>:<lbranch>` 27 refspec, it refuses to update the local branch 28 `<lbranch>` unless the remote branch `<rbranch>` it 29 fetches is a descendant of `<lbranch>`. This option 30 overrides that check. 31 32ifdef::git-pull[] 33--no-tags:: 34endif::git-pull[] 35ifndef::git-pull[] 36-n:: 37--no-tags:: 38endif::git-pull[] 39 By default, tags that point at objects that are downloaded 40 from the remote repository are fetched and stored locally. 41 This option disables this automatic tag following. 42 43-t:: 44--tags:: 45 Most of the tags are fetched automatically as branch 46 heads are downloaded, but tags that do not point at 47 objects reachable from the branch heads that are being 48 tracked will not be fetched by this mechanism. This 49 flag lets all tags and their associated objects be 50 downloaded. 51 52-k:: 53--keep:: 54 Keep downloaded pack. 55 56-u:: 57--update-head-ok:: 58 By default 'git-fetch' refuses to update the head which 59 corresponds to the current branch. This flag disables the 60 check. This is purely for the internal use for 'git-pull' 61 to communicate with 'git-fetch', and unless you are 62 implementing your own Porcelain you are not supposed to 63 use it. 64 65--depth=<depth>:: 66 Deepen the history of a 'shallow' repository created by 67 `git clone` with `--depth=<depth>` option (see linkgit:git-clone[1]) 68 by the specified number of commits.
