31 git-http-fetch \- Download from a remote Git repository via HTTP
35 \fIgit http\-fetch\fR [\-c] [\-t] [\-a] [\-d] [\-v] [\-w <filename>] [\-\-recover] [\-\-stdin | \-\-packfile=<hash> | <commit>] <URL>
40 Downloads a remote Git repository via HTTP\&.
42 This command always gets all objects\&. Historically, there were three options \fB\-a\fR, \fB\-c\fR and \fB\-t\fR for choosing which objects to download\&. They are now silently ignored\&.
47 Either the hash or the filename under [URL]/refs/ to pull\&.
52 These options are ignored for historical reasons\&.
57 Report what is downloaded\&.
62 Writes the commit\-id into the specified filename under $GIT_DIR/refs/<filename> on the local end after the transfer is complete\&.
67 Instead of a commit id on the command line (which is not expected in this case),
69 expects lines on stdin in the format
75 <commit\-id>[\*(Aq\et\*(Aq<filename\-as\-in\-\-w>]
84 For internal use only\&. Instead of a commit id on the command line (which is not expected in this case),
86 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\&.
89 \-\-index\-pack\-args=<args>
91 For internal use only\&. The command to run on the contents of the downloaded pack\&. Arguments are URL\-encoded separated by spaces\&.
96 Verify that everything reachable from target is fetched\&. Used after an earlier fetch is interrupted\&.
100 Part of the \fBgit\fR(1) suite
