   9SYNOPSIS
  10--------
  11[verse]
  12'git-upload-pack' [--[no-]strict] [--timeout=<n>] [--stateless-rpc]
  13                  [--advertise-refs] <directory>

  15DESCRIPTION
  16-----------
  17Invoked by 'git fetch-pack', learns what
  18objects the other side is missing, and sends them after packing.
  19
  20This command is usually not invoked directly by the end user.
  21The UI for the protocol is on the 'git fetch-pack' side, and the
  22program pair is meant to be used to pull updates from a remote
  23repository.  For push operations, see 'git send-pack'.

  25OPTIONS
  26-------
  27
  28--[no-]strict::
  29        Do not try <directory>/.git/ if <directory> is no Git directory.
  30
  31--timeout=<n>::
  32        Interrupt transfer after <n> seconds of inactivity.
  33
  34--stateless-rpc::
  35        Perform only a single read-write cycle with stdin and stdout.
  36        This fits with the HTTP POST request processing model where
  37        a program may read the request, write a response, and must exit.
  38
  39--advertise-refs::
  40        Only the initial ref advertisement is output, and the program exits
  41        immediately. This fits with the HTTP GET request model, where
  42        no request content is received but a response must be produced.
  43
  44<directory>::
  45        The repository to sync from.
