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-f, \--force:: 7 When `git-fetch` is used with `<rbranch>:<lbranch>` 8 refspec, it refuses to update the local branch 9 `<lbranch>` unless the remote branch `<rbranch>` it 10 fetches is a descendant of `<lbranch>`. This option 11 overrides that check. 12 13\--no-tags:: 14 By default, `git-fetch` fetches tags that point at 15 objects that are downloaded from the remote repository 16 and stores them locally. This option disables this 17 automatic tag following. 18 19-t, \--tags:: 20 Most of the tags are fetched automatically as branch 21 heads are downloaded, but tags that do not point at 22 objects reachable from the branch heads that are being 23 tracked will not be fetched by this mechanism. This 24 flag lets all tags and their associated objects be 25 downloaded. 26 27-k, \--keep:: 28 Keep downloaded pack. 29 30-u, \--update-head-ok:: 31 By default `git-fetch` refuses to update the head which 32 corresponds to the current branch. This flag disables the 33 check. Note that fetching into the current branch will not 34 update the index and working directory, so use it with care. 35
