NAME
|
||
|
|
----
|
||
|
|
git-fetch-pack - Receive missing objects from another repository.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
--------
|
||
|
|
git-fetch-pack [-q] [--exec=<git-upload-pack>] [<host>:]<directory> [<head>...] < <commit-list>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
Invokes 'git-upload-pack' on a potentially remote repository,
|
||
|
|
and asks it to send objects missing from this repository, to
|
||
|
|
update the named heads. The list of commits available locally
|
||
|
|
is fed from the standard input, to be sent to 'git-upload-pack'
|
||
|
|
running on the other end.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This command can be used only when the local side has a common
|
||
|
|
(ancestor) commit with the remote head that is being pulled
|
||
|
|
from. Use 'git-clone-pack' for that.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
OPTIONS
|
||
|
|
-------
|
||
|
|
-q::
|
||
|
|
Pass '-q' flag to 'git-unpack-objects'; this makes the
|
||
|
|
cloning process less verbose.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
--exec=<git-upload-pack>::
|
||
|
|
Use this to specify the path to 'git-upload-pack' on the
|
||
|
|
remote side, if is not found on your $PATH.
|
||
|
|
Installations of sshd ignores the user's environment
|
||
|
|
setup scripts for login shells (e.g. .bash_profile) and
|
||
|
|
your privately installed GIT may not be found on the system
|
||
|
|
default $PATH. Another workaround suggested is to set
|
||
|
|
up your $PATH in ".bashrc", but this flag is for people
|
||
|
|
who do not want to pay the overhead for non-interactive
|
||
|
|
shells by having a lean .bashrc file (they set most of
|
||
|
|
the things up in .bash_profile).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<host>::
|
||
|
|
A remote host that houses the repository. When this
|
||
|
|
part is specified, 'git-upload-pack' is invoked via
|
||
|
|
ssh.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<directory>::
|
||
|
|
The repository to sync from.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<head>...::
|
||
|
|
The remote heads to update from. This is relative to
|
||
|
|
$GIT_DIR (e.g. "HEAD", "refs/heads/master"). When
|
||
|
|
unspecified, update from all heads the remote side has.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
However the program refuses to work if more than one
|
||
|
|
remote head matches the specified heads. I am not sure
|
||
|
|
what this means... Help!!!!!
