pushing. That is, do not store it locally if
fetching, and update the same name if pushing.
--a, \--append::
- Append ref names and object names of fetched refs to the
- existing contents of $GIT_DIR/FETCH_HEAD. Without this
- option old data in $GIT_DIR/FETCH_HEAD will be overwritten.
-
--f, \--force::
- Usually, the command refuses to update a local ref that is
- not an ancestor of the remote ref used to overwrite it.
- This flag disables the check. What this means is that the
- local repository can lose commits; use it with care.
