        Path to the 'git-receive-pack' program on the remote
        end.  Sometimes useful when pushing to a remote
        repository over ssh, and you do not have the program in
        a directory on the default $PATH.

        Usually, the command refuses to update a remote ref that
        is not an ancestor of the local ref used to overwrite it.
        This flag disables the check.  What this means is that
        the remote repository can lose commits; use it with
        care.

+       Send a "thin" pack, which records objects in deltified form based
+       on objects not included in the pack to reduce network traffic.
