--depth=<depth>::
Deepen the history of a 'shallow' repository created by
`git clone` with `--depth=<depth>` option (see linkgit:git-clone[1])
- by the specified number of commits.
+ to the specified number of commits from the tip of each remote
+ branch history. Tags for the deepened commits are not fetched.

--dry-run::

-t::
--tags::
- 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. The default behavior for a remote may be
- specified with the remote.<name>.tagopt setting. See
- linkgit:git-config[1].
-
---[no-]recurse-submodules::
- This option controls if new commits of all populated submodules should
- be fetched too (see linkgit:git-config[1] and linkgit:gitmodules[5]).
+ This is a short-hand for giving "refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*"
+ refspec from the command line, to ask all tags to be fetched
+ and stored locally. Because this acts as an explicit
+ refspec, the default refspecs (configured with the
+ remote.$name.fetch variable) are overridden and not used.
+
+--recurse-submodules[=yes|on-demand|no]::
+ This option controls if and under what conditions new commits of
+ populated submodules should be fetched too. It can be used as a
+ boolean option to completely disable recursion when set to 'no' or to
+ unconditionally recurse into all populated submodules when set to
+ 'yes', which is the default when this option is used without any
+ value. Use 'on-demand' to only recurse into a populated submodule
+ when the superproject retrieves a commit that updates the submodule's
+ reference to a commit that isn't already in the local submodule
+ clone.
+
+--no-recurse-submodules::
+ Disable recursive fetching of submodules (this has the same effect as
+ using the '--recurse-submodules=no' option).
--submodule-prefix=<path>::
Prepend <path> to paths printed in informative messages
such as "Fetching submodule foo". This option is used
internally when recursing over submodules.
+
+--recurse-submodules-default=[yes|on-demand]::
+ This option is used internally to temporarily provide a
+ non-negative default value for the --recurse-submodules
+ option. All other methods of configuring fetch's submodule
+ recursion (such as settings in linkgit:gitmodules[5] and
+ linkgit:git-config[1]) override this option, as does
+ specifying --[no-]recurse-submodules directly.
