git-fetch-pack(1) |
|
================= |
|
v0.1, July 2005 |
|
|
|
NAME |
|
---- |
|
git-fetch-pack - Receive missing objects from another repository. |
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS |
|
-------- |
|
git-fetch-pack [-q] [--exec=<git-upload-pack>] [<host>:]<directory> [<head>...] < <commit-list> |
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION |
|
----------- |
|
Invokes 'git-upload-pack' on a potentially remote repository, |
|
and asks it to send objects missing from this repository, to |
|
update the named heads. The list of commits available locally |
|
is fed from the standard input, to be sent to 'git-upload-pack' |
|
running on the other end. |
|
|
|
This command can be used only when the local side has a common |
|
(ancestor) commit with the remote head that is being pulled |
|
from. Use 'git-clone-pack' for that. |
|
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS |
|
------- |
|
-q:: |
|
Pass '-q' flag to 'git-unpack-objects'; this makes the |
|
cloning process less verbose. |
|
|
|
--exec=<git-upload-pack>:: |
|
Use this to specify the path to 'git-upload-pack' on the |
|
remote side, if is not found on your $PATH. |
|
Installations of sshd ignores the user's environment |
|
setup scripts for login shells (e.g. .bash_profile) and |
|
your privately installed GIT may not be found on the system |
|
default $PATH. Another workaround suggested is to set |
|
up your $PATH in ".bashrc", but this flag is for people |
|
who do not want to pay the overhead for non-interactive |
|
shells by having a lean .bashrc file (they set most of |
|
the things up in .bash_profile). |
|
|
|
<host>:: |
|
A remote host that houses the repository. When this |
|
part is specified, 'git-upload-pack' is invoked via |
|
ssh. |
|
|
|
<directory>:: |
|
The repository to sync from. |
|
|
|
<head>...:: |
|
The remote heads to update from. This is relative to |
|
$GIT_DIR (e.g. "HEAD", "refs/heads/master"). When |
|
unspecified, update from all heads the remote side has. |
|
|
|
However the program refuses to work if more than one |
|
remote head matches the specified heads. I am not sure |
|
what this means... Help!!!!! |
