Documentation / fetch-options.txton commit Documentation/git-log: Clarify --full-diff (b1c7946)
   1--all::
   2        Fetch all remotes.
   3
   4-a::
   5--append::
   6        Append ref names and object names of fetched refs to the
   7        existing contents of `.git/FETCH_HEAD`.  Without this
   8        option old data in `.git/FETCH_HEAD` will be overwritten.
   9
  10--depth=<depth>::
  11        Deepen the history of a 'shallow' repository created by
  12        `git clone` with `--depth=<depth>` option (see linkgit:git-clone[1])
  13        by the specified number of commits.

  15ifndef::git-pull[]
  16--dry-run::
  17        Show what would be done, without making any changes.
  18endif::git-pull[]
  19
  20-f::
  21--force::
  22        When 'git fetch' is used with `<rbranch>:<lbranch>`
  23        refspec, it refuses to update the local branch
  24        `<lbranch>` unless the remote branch `<rbranch>` it
  25        fetches is a descendant of `<lbranch>`.  This option
  26        overrides that check.
  27
  28-k::
  29--keep::
  30        Keep downloaded pack.
  31
  32ifndef::git-pull[]
  33--multiple::
  34        Allow several <repository> and <group> arguments to be
  35        specified. No <refspec>s may be specified.
  36
  37-p::
  38--prune::
  39        After fetching, remove any remote tracking branches which
  40        no longer exist on the remote.
  41endif::git-pull[]

  44--no-tags::
  45endif::git-pull[]
  46ifndef::git-pull[]
  47-n::
  48--no-tags::
  49endif::git-pull[]
  50        By default, tags that point at objects that are downloaded
  51        from the remote repository are fetched and stored locally.
  52        This option disables this automatic tag following.
  53
  54-t::
  55--tags::
  56        Most of the tags are fetched automatically as branch
  57        heads are downloaded, but tags that do not point at
  58        objects reachable from the branch heads that are being
  59        tracked will not be fetched by this mechanism.  This
  60        flag lets all tags and their associated objects be
  61        downloaded.
  62
  63-u::
  64--update-head-ok::
  65        By default 'git fetch' refuses to update the head which
  66        corresponds to the current branch.  This flag disables the
  67        check.  This is purely for the internal use for 'git pull'
  68        to communicate with 'git fetch', and unless you are
  69        implementing your own Porcelain you are not supposed to
  70        use it.
  71
  72--upload-pack <upload-pack>::
  73        When given, and the repository to fetch from is handled
  74        by 'git fetch-pack', '--exec=<upload-pack>' is passed to
  75        the command to specify non-default path for the command
  76        run on the other end.
  77
  78ifndef::git-pull[]
  79-q::
  80--quiet::
  81        Pass --quiet to git-fetch-pack and silence any other internally
  82        used git commands. Progress is not reported to the standard error
  83        stream.
  84
  85-v::
  86--verbose::
  87        Be verbose.
  88endif::git-pull[]
  89
  90--progress::
  91        Progress status is reported on the standard error stream
  92        by default when it is attached to a terminal, unless -q
  93        is specified. This flag forces progress status even if the
  94        standard error stream is not directed to a terminal.
