1-a, \--append:: 2 Append ref names and object names of fetched refs to the 3 existing contents of `.git/FETCH_HEAD`. Without this 4 option old data in `.git/FETCH_HEAD` will be overwritten. 5 6--upload-pack <upload-pack>:: 7-u <upload-pack>:: 8 When given, and the repository to fetch from is handled 9 by 'git-fetch-pack', '--exec=<upload-pack>' is passed to 10 the command to specify non-default path for the command 11 run on the other end. 12 13-f, \--force:: 14 When `git-fetch` is used with `<rbranch>:<lbranch>` 15 refspec, it refuses to update the local branch 16 `<lbranch>` unless the remote branch `<rbranch>` it 17 fetches is a descendant of `<lbranch>`. This option 18 overrides that check. 19 20\--no-tags:: 21 By default, `git-fetch` fetches tags that point at 22 objects that are downloaded from the remote repository 23 and stores them locally. This option disables this 24 automatic tag following. 25 26-t, \--tags:: 27 Most of the tags are fetched automatically as branch 28 heads are downloaded, but tags that do not point at 29 objects reachable from the branch heads that are being 30 tracked will not be fetched by this mechanism. This 31 flag lets all tags and their associated objects be 32 downloaded. 33 34-k, \--keep:: 35 Keep downloaded pack. 36 37-u, \--update-head-ok:: 38 By default `git-fetch` refuses to update the head which 39 corresponds to the current branch. This flag disables the 40 check. Note that fetching into the current branch will not 41 update the index and working directory, so use it with care. 42
