DESCRIPTION
-----------
+Usually you would want to use gitlink:git-fetch[1] which is a
+higher level wrapper of this command instead.
+
Invokes 'git-upload-pack' on a potentially remote repository,
and asks it to send objects missing from this repository, to
update the named heads. The list of commits available locally
Pass '-q' flag to 'git-unpack-objects'; this makes the
cloning process less verbose.
+-k::
+ Do not invoke 'git-unpack-objects' on received data, but
+ create a single packfile out of it instead, and store it
+ in the object database. If provided twice then the pack is
+ locked against repacking.
+
--exec=<git-upload-pack>::
Use this to specify the path to 'git-upload-pack' on the
remote side, if is not found on your $PATH.
