| git-fetch-script(1) |
| =================== |
| v0.1, July 2005 |
| |
| NAME |
| ---- |
| git-fetch-script - Download objects and a head from another repository. |
| |
| |
| SYNOPSIS |
| -------- |
| 'git-fetch-script' <repository> [ <head> | tag <tag> ] |
| |
| |
| DESCRIPTION |
| ----------- |
| Fetches a named head or a tag from another repository, along |
| with the objects necessary to complete that head or tag. The |
| head to pull defaults to HEAD if unspecified. The head or tag |
| fetched from the remote repository is stored in |
| $GIT_DIR/FETCH_HEAD. |
| |
| When a <tag> is specified, the <tag> fetched from the remote is |
| also copied to the local $GIT_DIR/tags/<tag> file. When no |
| <head> nor <tag> is specified, and <repository> was specified |
| with the short-hand notation (i.e. naming a file under the |
| $GIT_DIR/branches directory), the head fetched from the remote |
| repository is also copied to the local $GIT_DIR/heads/<repository> |
| file. |
