SYNOPSIS
--------
-'git-send-pack' [--all] [--force] [--exec=<git-receive-pack>] [<host>:]<directory> [<ref>...]
+'git-send-pack' [--all] [--force] [--receive-pack=<git-receive-pack>] [--verbose] [--thin] [<host>:]<directory> [<ref>...]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
+Usually you would want to use gitlink:git-push[1] which is a
+higher level wrapper of this command instead.
+
Invokes 'git-receive-pack' on a possibly remote repository, and
updates it from the current repository, sending named refs.
OPTIONS
-------
---exec=<git-receive-pack>::
+\--receive-pack=<git-receive-pack>::
Path to the 'git-receive-pack' program on the remote
end. Sometimes useful when pushing to a remote
repository over ssh, and you do not have the program in
a directory on the default $PATH.
---all::
+\--exec=<git-receive-pack>::
+ Same as \--receive-pack=<git-receive-pack>.
+
+\--all::
Instead of explicitly specifying which refs to update,
update all refs that locally exist.
---force::
+\--force::
Usually, the command refuses to update a remote ref that
is not an ancestor of the local ref used to overwrite it.
This flag disables the check. What this means is that
the remote repository can lose commits; use it with
care.
+\--verbose::
+ Run verbosely.
+
+\--thin::
+ Spend extra cycles to minimize the number of objects to be sent.
+ Use it on slower connection.
+
<host>::
A remote host to house the repository. When this
part is specified, 'git-receive-pack' is invoked via
<directory>::
The repository to update.
-<ref>...:
+<ref>...::
The remote refs to update.
There are three ways to specify which refs to update on the
remote end.
-With '--all' flag, all refs that exist locally are transfered to
+With '--all' flag, all refs that exist locally are transferred to
the remote side. You cannot specify any '<ref>' if you use
this flag.
