The documentation for git-clone is behind the actual command. I have been getting tired of reading the shell script to see what the arguments are so here is an update of the actual documentation. Signed-off-by: Eric Biederman <ebiederman@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

SYNOPSIS

|

|
|
'git clone' [-l [-s]] [-q] [-n] [-u <upload-pack>] <repository> <directory>

DESCRIPTION

|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
--local::
|
|
-l::
|
|
When the repository to clone from is on a local machine,
|
|
this flag bypasses normal "git aware" transport
|
|
mechanism and clones the repository by making a copy of
|
|
HEAD and everything under objects and refs directories.
|
|
The files under .git/objects/ directory are hardlinked
|
|
to save space when possible.
|
|
|
|
--shared::
|
|
-s::
|
|
When the repository to clone is on the local machine,
|
|
instead of using hard links automatically setup
|
|
.git/objects/info/alternatives to share the objects
|
|
with the source repository
|
|
|
|
--quiet::
|
|
-q::
|
|
Operate quietly. This flag is passed to "rsync" and
|
|
"git-clone-pack" commands when given.
|
|
|
|
-n::
|
|
No checkout of HEAD is performed after the clone is complete.
|
|
|
|
--upload-pack <upload-pack>::
|
|
-u <upload-pack>::
|
|
When given, and the repository to clone from is handled
|
|
by 'git-clone-pack', '--exec=<upload-pack>' is passed to
|
|
the command to specify non-default path for the command
|
|
run on the other end.
|
|
|
|
<repository>::
|
|
The (possibly remote) repository to clone from. It can
|
|
be an "rsync://host/dir" URL, an "http://host/dir" URL,
|
|
or [<host>:]/dir notation that is used by 'git-clone-pack'.
|
|
Currently http transport is not supported.
|
|
|
|
<directory>::
|
|
The name of a new directory to be cloned into. It is an
|
|
error to specify an existing directory.
