Historically, there were three options +`-a`, `-c` and `-t` for choosing which objects to download. They are now +silently ignored. + +OPTIONS +------- +commit-id:: + Either the hash or the filename under [URL]/refs/ to + pull. + +-a, -c, -t:: + These options are ignored for historical reasons. +-v:: + Report what is downloaded. + +-w <filename>:: + Writes the commit-id into the filename under $GIT_DIR/refs/<filename> on + the local end after the transfer is complete. + +--stdin:: + Instead of a commit id on the command line (which is not expected in this + case), 'git http-fetch' expects lines on stdin in the format + + <commit-id>['\t'<filename-as-in--w>] + +--packfile=<hash>:: + For internal use only. Instead of a commit id on the command + line (which is not expected in + this case), 'git http-fetch' fetches the packfile directly at the given + URL and uses index-pack to generate corresponding .idx and .keep files. + The hash is used to determine the name of the temporary file and is + arbitrary. The output of index-pack is printed to stdout. Requires + --index-pack-args. + +--index-pack-args=<args>:: + For internal use only. The command to run on the contents of the + downloaded pack. Arguments are URL-encoded separated by spaces. + +--recover:: + Verify that everything reachable from target is fetched. Used after + an earlier fetch is interrupted. + +GIT +--- +Part of the linkgit:git[1] suite |
