Since the git-* commands are not installed in $(bindir), using "git-command <parameters>" in examples in the documentation is not a good idea. On the other hand, it is nice to be able to refer to each command using one hyphenated word. (There is no escaping it, anyway: man page names cannot have spaces in them.) This patch retains the dash in naming an operation, command, program, process, or action. Complete command lines that can be entered at a shell (i.e., without options omitted) are made to use the dashless form. The changes consist only of replacing some spaces with hyphens and vice versa. After a "s/ /-/g", the unpatched and patched versions are identical. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@uchicago.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

NAME
|
|
----
|
|
git-fetch - Download objects and refs from another repository
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git fetch' <options> <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/FETCH_HEAD`. This information is left for a later merge
|
|
operation done by "git-merge".
|
|
|
|
When <refspec> stores the fetched result in tracking branches,
|
|
the tags that point at these branches are automatically
|
|
followed. This is done by first fetching from the remote using
|
|
the given <refspec>s, and if the repository has objects that are
|
|
pointed by remote tags that it does not yet have, then fetch
|
|
those missing tags. If the other end has tags that point at
|
|
branches you are not interested in, you will not get them.
