+NAME
+----
+git-fetch-pack - Receive missing objects from another repository
+
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'git fetch-pack' [--all] [--quiet|-q] [--keep|-k] [--thin] [--include-tag]
+ [--upload-pack=<git-upload-pack>]
+ [--depth=<n>] [--no-progress]
+ [-v] <repository> [<refs>...]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+Usually you would want to use 'git fetch', which is a
+higher level wrapper of this command, instead.
+
+Invokes 'git-upload-pack' on a possibly remote repository
+and asks it to send objects missing from this repository, to
+update the named heads. The list of commits available locally
+is found out by scanning the local refs/ hierarchy and sent to
+'git-upload-pack' running on the other end.
+
+This command degenerates to download everything to complete the
+asked refs from the remote side when the local side does not
+have a common ancestor commit.
+
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+--all::
+ Fetch all remote refs.
+
+--stdin::
+ Take the list of refs from stdin, one per line. If there
+ are refs specified on the command line in addition to this
+ option, then the refs from stdin are processed after those
+ on the command line.
++
+If `--stateless-rpc` is specified together with this option then
+the list of refs must be in packet format (pkt-line). Each ref must
+be in a separate packet, and the list must end with a flush packet.
+
+-q::
+--quiet::
+ Pass `-q` flag to 'git unpack-objects'; this makes the
+ cloning process less verbose.
+
+-k::
+--keep::
+ 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.
+
+--thin::
+ Fetch a "thin" pack, which records objects in deltified form based
+ on objects not included in the pack to reduce network traffic.
+
+--include-tag::
+ If the remote side supports it, annotated tags objects will
+ be downloaded on the same connection as the other objects if
+ the object the tag references is downloaded. The caller must
+ otherwise determine the tags this option made available.
+
+--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
+ setup scripts for login shells (e.g. .bash_profile) and
+ your privately installed git may not be found on the system
+ default $PATH. Another workaround suggested is to set
+ up your $PATH in ".bashrc", but this flag is for people
+ who do not want to pay the overhead for non-interactive
+ 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.
+ 'git-upload-pack' treats the special depth 2147483647 as
+ infinite even if there is an ancestor-chain that long.
+
+--shallow-since=<date>::
+ Deepen or shorten the history of a shallow repository to
+ include all reachable commits after <date>.
+
+--shallow-exclude=<revision>::
+ Deepen or shorten the history of a shallow repository to
+ exclude commits reachable from a specified remote branch or tag.
+ This option can be specified multiple times.
+
+--deepen-relative::
+ Argument --depth specifies the number of commits from the
+ current shallow boundary instead of from the tip of each
+ remote branch history.
+
+--refetch::
+ Skips negotiating commits with the server in order to fetch all matching
+ objects. Use to reapply a new partial clone blob/tree filter.
+
+--no-progress::
+ Do not show the progress.
+
+--check-self-contained-and-connected::
+ Output "connectivity-ok" if the received pack is
+ self-contained and connected.
+
+-v::
+ Run verbosely.
+
+<repository>::
+ The URL to the remote repository.
+
+<refs>...::
+ The remote heads to update from. This is relative to
+ $GIT_DIR (e.g. "HEAD", "refs/heads/master"). When
+ unspecified, update from all heads the remote side has.
++
+If the remote has enabled the options `uploadpack.allowTipSHA1InWant`,
+`uploadpack.allowReachableSHA1InWant`, or `uploadpack.allowAnySHA1InWant`,
+they may alternatively be 40-hex sha1s present on the remote.
