31 git-upload-pack \- Send objects packed back to git\-fetch\-pack

41 Invoked by \fIgit fetch\-pack\fR, learns what objects the other side is missing, and sends them after packing\&.
43 This command is usually not invoked directly by the end user\&. The UI for the protocol is on the \fIgit fetch\-pack\fR side, and the program pair is meant to be used to pull updates from a remote repository\&. For push operations, see \fIgit send\-pack\fR\&.
48 Do not try <directory>/\&.git/ if <directory> is no Git directory\&.
53 Interrupt transfer after <n> seconds of inactivity\&.
58 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\&.

83 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
