  12'git http-push' [--all] [--dry-run] [--force] [--verbose] <url> <ref> [<ref>...]

  14DESCRIPTION
  15-----------
  16Sends missing objects to remote repository, and updates the
  17remote branch.
  18
  19*NOTE*: This command is temporarily disabled if your libcurl
  20is older than 7.16, as the combination has been reported
  21not to work and sometimes corrupts repository.
  22
  23OPTIONS
  24-------
  25--all::
  26        Do not assume that the remote repository is complete in its
  27        current state, and verify all objects in the entire local
  28        ref's history exist in the remote repository.
  29
  30--force::
  31        Usually, the command refuses to update a remote ref that
  32        is not an ancestor of the local ref used to overwrite it.
  33        This flag disables the check.  What this means is that
  34        the remote repository can lose commits; use it with
  35        care.
  36
  37--dry-run::
  38        Do everything except actually send the updates.
  39
  40--verbose::
  41        Report the list of objects being walked locally and the
  42        list of objects successfully sent to the remote repository.
  43
  44-d::
  45-D::
  46        Remove <ref> from remote repository.  The specified branch
  47        cannot be the remote HEAD.  If -d is specified the following
  48        other conditions must also be met:
  49
  50        - Remote HEAD must resolve to an object that exists locally
  51        - Specified branch resolves to an object that exists locally
  52        - Specified branch is an ancestor of the remote HEAD
  53
  54<ref>...::
  55        The remote refs to update.

  58Specifying the Refs
  59-------------------
  60
  61A '<ref>' specification can be either a single pattern, or a pair
  62of such patterns separated by a colon ":" (this means that a ref name
  63cannot have a colon in it).  A single pattern '<name>' is just a
  64shorthand for '<name>:<name>'.
  65
  66Each pattern pair consists of the source side (before the colon)
  67and the destination side (after the colon).  The ref to be
  68pushed is determined by finding a match that matches the source
  69side, and where it is pushed is determined by using the
  70destination side.
  71
  72 - It is an error if <src> does not match exactly one of the
  73   local refs.
  74
  75 - If <dst> does not match any remote ref, either
  76
  77   * it has to start with "refs/"; <dst> is used as the
  78     destination literally in this case.
  79
  80   * <src> == <dst> and the ref that matched the <src> must not
  81     exist in the set of remote refs; the ref matched <src>
  82     locally is used as the name of the destination.
  83
  84Without '--force', the <src> ref is stored at the remote only if
  85<dst> does not exist, or <dst> is a proper subset (i.e. an
  86ancestor) of <src>.  This check, known as "fast-forward check",
  87is performed in order to avoid accidentally overwriting the
  88remote ref and lose other peoples' commits from there.
  89
  90With '--force', the fast-forward check is disabled for all refs.
  91
  92Optionally, a <ref> parameter can be prefixed with a plus '+' sign
  93to disable the fast-forward check only on that ref.
