+git-upload-pack(1)
+==================
+
+NAME
+----
+git-upload-pack - Send objects packed back to git-fetch-pack
+
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'git-upload-pack' [--[no-]strict] [--timeout=<n>] [--stateless-rpc]
+ [--advertise-refs] <directory>
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+Invoked by 'git fetch-pack', learns what
+objects the other side is missing, and sends them after packing.
+
+This command is usually not invoked directly by the end user.
+The UI for the protocol is on the 'git fetch-pack' side, and the
+program pair is meant to be used to pull updates from a remote
+repository. For push operations, see 'git send-pack'.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+
+--[no-]strict::
+ Do not try <directory>/.git/ if <directory> is no Git directory.
+
+--timeout=<n>::
+ Interrupt transfer after <n> seconds of inactivity.
+
+--stateless-rpc::
+ Perform only a single read-write cycle with stdin and stdout.
+ This fits with the HTTP POST request processing model where
+ a program may read the request, write a response, and must exit.
+
+--http-backend-info-refs::
+ Used by linkgit:git-http-backend[1] to serve up
+ `$GIT_URL/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack` requests. See
+ "Smart Clients" in linkgit:gitprotocol-http[5] and "HTTP
+ Transport" in the linkgit:gitprotocol-v2[5]
+ documentation. Also understood by
+ linkgit:git-receive-pack[1].
+
+<directory>::
+ The repository to sync from.
+
+ENVIRONMENT
+-----------
+
+`GIT_PROTOCOL`::
+ Internal variable used for handshaking the wire protocol. Server
+ admins may need to configure some transports to allow this
+ variable to be passed. See the discussion in linkgit:git[1].
