Junio C Hamano 6ec311da34 [PATCH] clone-pack and clone-script: documentation and add a missing parameter.
While adding the documentation for these two commands, I noticed
that the name of the program on the other end (git-upload-pack)
is already almost configurable but git-clone-pack lacked command
line parameter parsing to actually use anything but default, so
I introduced --exec= like other remote commands while I was at it.

git-clone-script(1)
===================
v0.1, July 2005
NAME
----
git-clone-script - Clones a repository.
SYNOPSIS
--------
'git clone' [-l] [-u <upload-pack>] [-q] <repository> <directory>
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Clones a repository into a newly created directory.
OPTIONS
-------
-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.
-q::
Operate quietly. This flag is passed to "rsync" and
"git-clone-pack" commands when given.
-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.
