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 When given, and the repository to fetch from is handled 8 by 'git-fetch-pack', '--exec=<upload-pack>' is passed to 9 the command to specify non-default path for the command 10 run on the other end. 11 12-f, \--force:: 13 When `git-fetch` is used with `<rbranch>:<lbranch>` 14 refspec, it refuses to update the local branch 15 `<lbranch>` unless the remote branch `<rbranch>` it 16 fetches is a descendant of `<lbranch>`. This option 17 overrides that check. 18 19\--no-tags:: 20 By default, `git-fetch` fetches tags that point at 21 objects that are downloaded from the remote repository 22 and stores them locally. This option disables this 23 automatic tag following. 24 25-t, \--tags:: 26 Most of the tags are fetched automatically as branch 27 heads are downloaded, but tags that do not point at 28 objects reachable from the branch heads that are being 29 tracked will not be fetched by this mechanism. This 30 flag lets all tags and their associated objects be 31 downloaded. 32 33-k, \--keep:: 34 Keep downloaded pack. 35 36-u, \--update-head-ok:: 37 By default `git-fetch` refuses to update the head which 38 corresponds to the current branch. This flag disables the 39 check. Note that fetching into the current branch will not 40 update the index and working directory, so use it with care. 41
