DESCRIPTION
-----------
current master branch, if any.
This default configuration is achieved by creating references to
-the remote branch heads under `$GIT_DIR/refs/remotes/origin` and
+the remote branch heads under `refs/remotes/origin` and
by initializing `remote.origin.url` and `remote.origin.fetch`
configuration variables.
--quiet::
-q::
- Operate quietly. This flag is also passed to the `rsync'
+ Operate quietly. Progress is not reported to the standard
+ error stream. This flag is also passed to the `rsync'
command when given.
--verbose::
-v::
- Display the progress bar, even in case the standard output is not
- a terminal.
+ Run verbosely. Does not affect the reporting of progress status
+ to the standard error stream.
+
+--progress::
+ Progress status is reported on the standard error stream
+ by default when it is attached to a terminal, unless -q
+ is specified. This flag forces progress status even if the
+ standard error stream is not directed to a terminal.
--no-checkout::
-n::
configuration variables are created.
--mirror::
- Set up a mirror of the remote repository. This implies `--bare`.
+ Set up a mirror of the source repository. This implies `--bare`.
+ Compared to `--bare`, `--mirror` not only maps local branches of the
+ source to local branches of the target, it maps all refs (including
+ remote-tracking branches, notes etc.) and sets up a refspec configuration such
+ that all these refs are overwritten by a `git remote update` in the
+ target repository.
--origin <name>::
-o <name>::
--template=<template_directory>::
Specify the directory from which templates will be used;
- if unset the templates are taken from the installation
- defined default, typically `/usr/share/git-core/templates`.
+ (See the "TEMPLATE DIRECTORY" section of linkgit:git-init[1].)
--depth <depth>::
Create a 'shallow' clone with a history truncated to the
as patches.
--recursive::
+--recurse-submodules::
After the clone is created, initialize all submodules within,
using their default settings. This is equivalent to running
`git submodule update --init --recursive` immediately after
repository does not have a worktree/checkout (i.e. if any of
`--no-checkout`/`-n`, `--bare`, or `--mirror` is given)
+-L=<git dir>::
+--separate-git-dir=<git dir>::
+ Instead of placing the cloned repository where it is supposed
+ to be, place the cloned repository at the specified directory,
+ then make a filesytem-agnostic git symbolic link to there.
+ The result is git repository can be separated from working
+ tree.
+
+
<repository>::
The (possibly remote) repository to clone from. See the
<<URLS,URLS>> section below for more information on specifying
/pub/scm/.../me/subsys-2.6.git
