GIT-HTTP-FETCH(1)		  Git Manual		     GIT-HTTP-FETCH(1)

NAME
       git-http-fetch -	Download from a	remote Git repository via HTTP

SYNOPSIS
       git http-fetch [-c] [-t]	[-a] [-d] [-v] [-w <filename>] [--recover] [--stdin | --packfile=<hash>	| <commit>] <URL>

DESCRIPTION
       Downloads a remote Git repository via HTTP.

       This command always gets	all objects. 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 specified 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.
