<repository>::
The "remote" repository to pull from. One of the
following notations can be used to name the repository
to pull from:
Rsync URL
rsync://remote.machine/path/to/repo.git/
HTTP(s) URL
http://remote.machine/path/to/repo.git/
GIT URL
git://remote.machine/path/to/repo.git/
remote.machine:/path/to/repo.git/
Local directory
/path/to/repo.git/
In addition to that, as a short-hand, the name of a file
in $GIT_DIR/branches directory can be specified; the
named file should contain a single line, a URL in one of
the above formats, optionally followed by a hash '#' and
the name of remote head.
<head>::
The remote head name to fetch from. That is, make the
objects reachable from the commit recorded in
$GIT_DIR/refs/heads/<head> in the remote repository
available locally.
tag <tag>::
The remote head tag to fetch from. That is, make the
objects reachable from the commit recorded in
$GIT_DIR/refs/tags/<tag> in the remote repository
available locally.
