The documentation was lazily sharing the argument description across these commands. Lazy may be a way of life, but that does not justify confusing others ;-). Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

git-fetch(1)
|

============
|
|
|
|
NAME
|
|
----
|
|
git-fetch - Download objects and a head from another repository.
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git-fetch' <repository> <refspec>...
|
|
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
Fetches named heads or tags from another repository, along with
|
|
the objects necessary to complete them.
|
|
|
|
The ref names and their object names of fetched refs are stored
|
|
in $GIT_DIR/FETCH_HEAD. This information is left for a later merge
|
|
operation done by "git resolve" or "git octopus".
|
|
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
include::pull-fetch-param.txt[]
|
|
|
|
-a, \--append::
|
|
Append ref names and object names of fetched refs to the
|
|
existing contents of $GIT_DIR/FETCH_HEAD. Without this
|
|
option old data in $GIT_DIR/FETCH_HEAD will be overwritten.
|
|
|
|
-u, \--update-head-ok::
|
|
By default 'git-fetch' refuses to update the head which
|
|
corresponds to the current branch. This flag disables the
|
|
check. Note that fetching into the current branch will not
|
|
update the index and working directory, so use it with care.
