+'git-local-fetch' [-c] [-t] [-a] [-d] [-v] [-w filename] [--recover] [-l] [-s] [-n]
+ commit-id path
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Get all the objects.
-v::
Report what is downloaded.
+-s::
+ Instead of regular file-to-file copying use symbolic links to the objects
+ in the remote repository.
+-l::
+ Before attempting symlinks (if -s is specified) or file-to-file copying the
+ remote objects, try to hardlink the remote objects into the local
+ repository.
+-n::
+ Never attempt to file-to-file copy remote objects. Only useful with
+ -s or -l command-line options.
-w <filename>::
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 commandline (which is not expected in this
+ case), 'git-local-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.
