DESCRIPTION
-----------
+Usually you would want to use gitlink:git-fetch[1] which is a
+higher level wrapper of this command instead.
+
Invokes 'git-upload-pack' on a potentially remote repository,
and asks it to send objects missing from this repository, to
update the named heads. The list of commits available locally
OPTIONS
-------
--q::
+\--all::
+ Fetch all remote refs.
+
+\--quiet, \-q::
Pass '-q' flag to 'git-unpack-objects'; this makes the
cloning process less verbose.
--k::
+\--keep, \-k::
Do not invoke 'git-unpack-objects' on received data, but
create a single packfile out of it instead, and store it
in the object database. If provided twice then the pack is
locked against repacking.
---exec=<git-upload-pack>::
+\--thin::
+ Spend extra cycles to minimize the number of objects to be sent.
+ Use it on slower connection.
+
+\--upload-pack=<git-upload-pack>::
Use this to specify the path to 'git-upload-pack' on the
remote side, if is not found on your $PATH.
Installations of sshd ignores the user's environment
shells by having a lean .bashrc file (they set most of
the things up in .bash_profile).
+\--exec=<git-upload-pack>::
+ Same as \--upload-pack=<git-upload-pack>.
+
+\--depth=<n>::
+ Limit fetching to ancestor-chains not longer than n.
+
+\-v::
+ Run verbosely.
+
<host>::
A remote host that houses the repository. When this
part is specified, 'git-upload-pack' is invoked via
