+ Pass --quiet to git-fetch-pack and silence any other internally

+-v, \--verbose::
+ Be verbose.

-a, \--append::
Append ref names and object names of fetched refs to the
existing contents of `.git/FETCH_HEAD`. Without this
option old data in `.git/FETCH_HEAD` will be overwritten.
+\--upload-pack <upload-pack>::
+ When given, and the repository to fetch from is handled
+ by 'git-fetch-pack', '--exec=<upload-pack>' is passed to
+ the command to specify non-default path for the command
+ run on the other end.

-f, \--force::
When `git-fetch` is used with `<rbranch>:<lbranch>`
refspec, it refuses to update the local branch
fetches is a descendant of `<lbranch>`. This option
overrides that check.

+ By default, tags that point at objects that are downloaded

+ This option disables this automatic tag following.
+
-t, \--tags::
- By default, the git core utilities will not fetch and store
- tags under the same name as the remote repository; ask it
- to do so using `--tags`. Using this option will bound the
- list of objects pulled to the remote tags. Commits in branches
- beyond the tags will be ignored.
+ Most of the tags are fetched automatically as branch
+ heads are downloaded, but tags that do not point at
+ objects reachable from the branch heads that are being
+ tracked will not be fetched by this mechanism. This
+ flag lets all tags and their associated objects be
+ downloaded.
+
+-k, \--keep::
+ Keep downloaded pack.
-u, \--update-head-ok::
By default `git-fetch` refuses to update the head which
corresponds to the current branch. This flag disables the
- check. Note that fetching into the current branch will not
- update the index and working directory, so use it with care.

+\--depth=<depth>::
