14DESCRIPTION
15-----------
16Downloads a remote Git repository via HTTP.
17
18This command always gets all objects. Historically, there were three options
19`-a`, `-c` and `-t` for choosing which objects to download. They are now
20silently ignored.
21
22OPTIONS
23-------
24commit-id::
25 Either the hash or the filename under [URL]/refs/ to
26 pull.
27
28-a::
29-c::
30-t::
31 These options are ignored for historical reasons.
32
33-v::
34 Report what is downloaded.
35
36-w <filename>::
37 Writes the commit-id into the specified filename under $GIT_DIR/refs/<filename> on
38 the local end after the transfer is complete.
39
40--stdin::
41 Instead of a commit id on the command line (which is not expected in this
42 case), 'git http-fetch' expects lines on stdin in the format
43
44 <commit-id>['\t'<filename-as-in--w>]
45
46--packfile=<hash>::
47 For internal use only. Instead of a commit id on the command
48 line (which is not expected in
49 this case), 'git http-fetch' fetches the packfile directly at the given
50 URL and uses index-pack to generate corresponding .idx and .keep files.
51 The hash is used to determine the name of the temporary file and is
52 arbitrary. The output of index-pack is printed to stdout. Requires
53 --index-pack-args.
54
55--index-pack-args=<args>::
56 For internal use only. The command to run on the contents of the
57 downloaded pack. Arguments are URL-encoded separated by spaces.
58
59--recover::
60 Verify that everything reachable from target is fetched. Used after
61 an earlier fetch is interrupted.
