  10SYNOPSIS
  11--------
  12'git-clone-pack' [-q] [--exec=<git-upload-pack>] [<host>:]<directory> [<heads>...]
  13
  14DESCRIPTION
  15-----------
  16Clones a repository into the current repository by invoking
  17'git-upload-pack', possibly on the remote host via ssh, in
  18the named repository, and invoking 'git-unpack-objects' locally
  19to receive the pack.
  20
  21OPTIONS
  22-------
  23-q::
  24        Pass '-q' flag to 'git-unpack-objects'; this makes the
  25        cloning process less verbose.
  26
  27--exec=<git-upload-pack>::
  28        Use this to specify the path to 'git-upload-pack' on the
  29        remote side, if is not found on your $PATH.
  30        Installations of sshd ignores the user's environment
  31        setup scripts for login shells (e.g. .bash_profile) and
  32        your privately installed GIT may not be found on the system
  33        default $PATH.  Another workaround suggested is to set
  34        up your $PATH in ".bashrc", but this flag is for people
  35        who do not want to pay the overhead for non-interactive
  36        shells by having a lean .bashrc file (they set most of
  37        the things up in .bash_profile).
  38
  39[<host>:]<directory::
  40        The (possibly remote) repository to clone from.
  41
  42<heads>...::
  43        The heads to update.  This is relative to $GIT_DIR
  44        (e.g. "HEAD", "refs/heads/master").  When unspecified,
  45        all heads are updated to match the remote repository.
