  19OPTIONS
  20-------
  21-c::
  22        Get the commit objects.
  23-t::
  24        Get trees associated with the commit objects.
  25-a::
  26        Get all the objects.
  27-v::
  28        Report what is downloaded.
  29-s::
  30        Instead of regular file-to-file copying use symbolic links to the objects
  31        in the remote repository.
  32-l::
  33        Before attempting symlinks (if -s is specified) or file-to-file copying the
  34        remote objects, try to hardlink the remote objects into the local
  35        repository.
  36-n::
  37        Never attempt to file-to-file copy remote objects.  Only useful with
  38        -s or -l command-line options.
  39
  40-w <filename>::
  41        Writes the commit-id into the filename under $GIT_DIR/refs/<filename> on
  42        the local end after the transfer is complete.
  43
  44--stdin::
  45        Instead of a commit id on the commandline (which is not expected in this
  46        case), 'git-local-fetch' expects lines on stdin in the format
  47
  48                <commit-id>['\t'<filename-as-in--w>]
  49
  50--recover::
  51        Verify that everything reachable from target is fetched.  Used after
  52        an earlier fetch is interrupted.
