The SYNOPSIS sections of most commands that span several lines already use [verse] to retain line breaks. Most commands that don't span several lines seem not to use [verse]. In the HTML output, [verse] does not only preserve line breaks, but also makes the section indented, which causes a slight inconsistency between commands that use [verse] and those that don't. Use [verse] in all SYNOPSIS sections for consistency. Also remove the blank lines from git-fetch.txt and git-rebase.txt to align with the other man pages. In the case of git-rebase.txt, which already uses [verse], the blank line makes the [verse] not apply to the last line, so removing the blank line also makes the formatting within the document more consistent. While at it, add single quotes to 'git cvsimport' for consistency with other commands.

NAME
|
|
----
|
|
git-send-pack - Push objects over git protocol to another repository
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
'git send-pack' [--all] [--dry-run] [--force] [--receive-pack=<git-receive-pack>] [--verbose] [--thin] [<host>:]<directory> [<ref>...]
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
Usually you would want to use 'git push', which is a
|
|
higher-level wrapper of this command, instead. See linkgit:git-push[1].
|
|
|
|
Invokes 'git-receive-pack' on a possibly remote repository, and
|
|
updates it from the current repository, sending named refs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
--receive-pack=<git-receive-pack>::
|
|
Path to the 'git-receive-pack' program on the remote
|
|
end. Sometimes useful when pushing to a remote
|
|
repository over ssh, and you do not have the program in
|
|
a directory on the default $PATH.
|
|
|
|
--exec=<git-receive-pack>::
|
|
Same as \--receive-pack=<git-receive-pack>.
|
|
|
|
--all::
|
|
Instead of explicitly specifying which refs to update,
|
|
update all heads that locally exist.
|
|
|
|
--dry-run::
|
|
Do everything except actually send the updates.
|
|
|
|
--force::
|
|
Usually, the command refuses to update a remote ref that
|
|
is not an ancestor of the local ref used to overwrite it.
|
|
This flag disables the check. What this means is that
|
|
the remote repository can lose commits; use it with
|
|
care.
|
|
|
|
--verbose::
|
|
Run verbosely.
|
|
|
|
--thin::
|
|
Send a "thin" pack, which records objects in deltified form based
|
|
on objects not included in the pack to reduce network traffic.
|
|
|
|
<host>::
|
|
A remote host to house the repository. When this
|
|
part is specified, 'git-receive-pack' is invoked via
|
|
ssh.
|
|
|
|
<directory>::
|
|
The repository to update.
|
|
|
|
<ref>...::
|
|
The remote refs to update.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Specifying the Refs
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
There are three ways to specify which refs to update on the
|
|
remote end.
|
|
|
|
With '--all' flag, all refs that exist locally are transferred to
|
|
the remote side. You cannot specify any '<ref>' if you use
|
|
this flag.
|
|
|
|
Without '--all' and without any '<ref>', the heads that exist
|
|
both on the local side and on the remote side are updated.
|
|
|
|
When one or more '<ref>' are specified explicitly, it can be either a
|
|
single pattern, or a pair of such pattern separated by a colon
|
|
":" (this means that a ref name cannot have a colon in it). A
|
|
single pattern '<name>' is just a shorthand for '<name>:<name>'.
|
|
|
|
Each pattern pair consists of the source side (before the colon)
|
|
and the destination side (after the colon). The ref to be
|
|
pushed is determined by finding a match that matches the source
|
|
side, and where it is pushed is determined by using the
|
|
destination side. The rules used to match a ref are the same
|
|
rules used by 'git rev-parse' to resolve a symbolic ref
|
|
name. See linkgit:git-rev-parse[1].
|
|
|
|
- It is an error if <src> does not match exactly one of the
|
|
local refs.
|
|
|
|
- It is an error if <dst> matches more than one remote refs.
|
|
|
|
- If <dst> does not match any remote ref, either
|
|
|
|
* it has to start with "refs/"; <dst> is used as the
|
|
destination literally in this case.
|
|
|
|
* <src> == <dst> and the ref that matched the <src> must not
|
|
exist in the set of remote refs; the ref matched <src>
|
|
locally is used as the name of the destination.
|
|
|
|
Without '--force', the <src> ref is stored at the remote only if
|
|
<dst> does not exist, or <dst> is a proper subset (i.e. an
|
|
ancestor) of <src>. This check, known as "fast-forward check",
|
|
is performed in order to avoid accidentally overwriting the
|
|
remote ref and lose other peoples' commits from there.
|
|
|
|
With '--force', the fast-forward check is disabled for all refs.
|
|
|
|
Optionally, a <ref> parameter can be prefixed with a plus '+' sign
|
|
to disable the fast-forward check only on that ref.
