DESCRIPTION
-----------
machine be replicated on another machine, but the two machines cannot
be directly connected so the interactive git protocols (git, ssh,
rsync, http) cannot be used. This command provides support for
-git-fetch and git-pull to operate by packaging objects and references
+'git-fetch' and 'git-pull' to operate by packaging objects and references
in an archive at the originating machine, then importing those into
-another repository using linkgit:git-fetch[1] and linkgit:git-pull[1]
+another repository using 'git-fetch' and 'git-pull'
after moving the archive by some means (i.e., by sneakernet). As no
direct connection between repositories exists, the user must specify a
basis for the bundle that is held by the destination repository: the
create <file>::
Used to create a bundle named 'file'. This requires the
- git-rev-list arguments to define the bundle contents.
+ 'git-rev-list' arguments to define the bundle contents.
verify <file>::
Used to check that a bundle file is valid and will apply
cleanly to the current repository. This includes checks on the
bundle format itself as well as checking that the prerequisite
commits exist and are fully linked in the current repository.
- git-bundle prints a list of missing commits, if any, and exits
+ 'git-bundle' prints a list of missing commits, if any, and exits
with non-zero status.
list-heads <file>::
printed out.
unbundle <file>::
- Passes the objects in the bundle to linkgit:git-index-pack[1]
+ Passes the objects in the bundle to 'git-index-pack'
for storage in the repository, then prints the names of all
defined references. If a reflist is given, only references
matching those in the given list are printed. This command is
- really plumbing, intended to be called only by
- linkgit:git-fetch[1].

[git-rev-list-args...]::
- A list of arguments, acceptable to git-rev-parse and
- git-rev-list, that specify the specific objects and references
+ A list of arguments, acceptable to 'git-rev-parse' and
+ 'git-rev-list', that specify the specific objects and references
to transport. For example, "master~10..master" causes the
current master reference to be packaged along with all objects
added since its 10th ancestor commit. There is no explicit
[refname...]::
A list of references used to limit the references reported as
- available. This is principally of use to git-fetch, which

expects to receive only those references asked for and not

- acting like linkgit:git-fetch-pack[1]).

SPECIFYING REFERENCES
---------------------
-git-bundle will only package references that are shown by
-git-show-ref: this includes heads, tags, and remote heads. References
+'git-bundle' will only package references that are shown by
+'git-show-ref': this includes heads, tags, and remote heads. References
such as master~1 cannot be packaged, but are perfectly suitable for
defining the basis. More than one reference may be packaged, and more
than one basis can be specified. The objects packaged are those not
and move it afterwards to help build the bundle.
------------
-$ git-bundle create mybundle master ^lastR2bundle
+$ git bundle create mybundle master ^lastR2bundle
$ git tag -f lastR2bundle master
------------
Then you move mybundle from A to B, and in R2 on B:
------------
-$ git-bundle verify mybundle
-$ git-fetch mybundle master:localRef
+$ git bundle verify mybundle
+$ git fetch mybundle master:localRef
------------
With something like this in the config in R2:
