git-http-fetch - Download from a remote git repository via HTTP

git http-fetch [-c] [-t] [-a] [-d] [-v] [-w filename] [--recover] [--stdin] <commit> <url>

Downloads a remote git repository via HTTP.

commit-id
    Either the hash or the filename under [URL]/refs/ to pull.

-c
    Get the commit objects.

-t
    Get trees associated with the commit objects.

-a
    Get all the objects.

-v
    Report what is downloaded.

-w <filename>
    Writes the commit-id into the filename under $GIT_DIR/refs/<filename> on the local end after the transfer is complete.

--stdin
    Instead of a commit id on the command line (which is not expected in this case), git http-fetch expects lines on stdin in the format


    .

<commit-id>[\*(Aq\t\*(Aq<filename-as-in--w>]

.

--recover
    Verify that everything reachable from target is fetched. Used after an earlier fetch is interrupted.
