+--negotiation-tip=<commit|glob>::
+       By default, Git will report, to the server, commits reachable
+       from all local refs to find common commits in an attempt to
+       reduce the size of the to-be-received packfile. If specified,
+       Git will only report commits reachable from the given tips.
+       This is useful to speed up fetches when the user knows which
+       local ref is likely to have commits in common with the
+       upstream ref being fetched.
++
+This option may be specified more than once; if so, Git will report
+commits reachable from any of the given commits.
++
+The argument to this option may be a glob on ref names, a ref, or the (possibly
+abbreviated) SHA-1 of a commit. Specifying a glob is equivalent to specifying
+this option multiple times, one for each matching ref name.
