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