SYNOPSIS
--------
-'git-http-fetch' [-c] [-t] [-a] [-d] [-v] [-w filename] [--recover] <commit> <url>
+'git http-fetch' [-c] [-t] [-a] [-d] [-v] [-w filename] [--recover] [--stdin] <commit> <url>
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Writes the commit-id into the filename under $GIT_DIR/refs/<filename> on
the local end after the transfer is complete.
+--stdin::
+ Instead of a commit id on the command line (which is not expected in this
+ case), 'git-http-fetch' expects lines on stdin in the format
+
+ <commit-id>['\t'<filename-as-in--w>]
+
+--recover::
+ Verify that everything reachable from target is fetched. Used after
+ an earlier fetch is interrupted.
