9 git http-fetch [-c] [-t] [-a] [-d] [-v] [-w <filename>] [--recover] [--stdin | --packfile=<hash> | <commit>] <URL>
10
12 Downloads a remote Git repository via HTTP.
13
14 This command always gets all objects. Historically, there were three
15 options -a, -c and -t for choosing which objects to download. They are
16 now silently ignored.
17
19 commit-id
20 Either the hash or the filename under [URL]/refs/ to pull.
21
22 -a, -c, -t
23 These options are ignored for historical reasons.
24
25 -v
26 Report what is downloaded.
27
28 -w <filename>
29 Writes the commit-id into the filename under
30 $GIT_DIR/refs/<filename> on the local end after the transfer is
31 complete.
32
33 --stdin
34 Instead of a commit id on the command line (which is not expected
35 in this case), git http-fetch expects lines on stdin in the format
36
37 <commit-id>['\t'<filename-as-in--w>]
38
39 --packfile=<hash>
40 For internal use only. Instead of a commit id on the command line
41 (which is not expected in this case), git http-fetch fetches the
42 packfile directly at the given URL and uses index-pack to generate
43 corresponding .idx and .keep files. The hash is used to determine
44 the name of the temporary file and is arbitrary. The output of
45 index-pack is printed to stdout. Requires --index-pack-args.
46
47 --index-pack-args=<args>
48 For internal use only. The command to run on the contents of the
49 downloaded pack. Arguments are URL-encoded separated by spaces.
50
51 --recover
52 Verify that everything reachable from target is fetched. Used after
53 an earlier fetch is interrupted.
