6 git-http-push - Push objects over HTTP/DAV to another repository
11 'git-http-push' [--complete] [--force] [--verbose] <url> <ref> [<ref>...]
15 Sends missing objects to remote repository, and updates the
22 Do not assume that the remote repository is complete in its
23 current state, and verify all objects in the entire local
24 ref's history exist in the remote repository.
27 Usually, the command refuses to update a remote ref that
28 is not an ancestor of the local ref used to overwrite it.
29 This flag disables the check. What this means is that
30 the remote repository can lose commits; use it with
34 Report the list of objects being walked locally and the
35 list of objects successfully sent to the remote repository.
38 The remote refs to update.
44 A '<ref>' specification can be either a single pattern, or a pair
45 of such patterns separated by a colon ":" (this means that a ref name
46 cannot have a colon in it). A single pattern '<name>' is just a
47 shorthand for '<name>:<name>'.
49 Each pattern pair consists of the source side (before the colon)
50 and the destination side (after the colon). The ref to be
51 pushed is determined by finding a match that matches the source
52 side, and where it is pushed is determined by using the
55 - It is an error if <src> does not match exactly one of the
58 - If <dst> does not match any remote ref, either
60 * it has to start with "refs/"; <dst> is used as the
61 destination literally in this case.
63 * <src> == <dst> and the ref that matched the <src> must not
64 exist in the set of remote refs; the ref matched <src>
65 locally is used as the name of the destination.
67 Without '--force', the <src> ref is stored at the remote only if
68 <dst> does not exist, or <dst> is a proper subset (i.e. an
69 ancestor) of <src>. This check, known as "fast forward check",
70 is performed in order to avoid accidentally overwriting the
71 remote ref and lose other peoples' commits from there.
73 With '--force', the fast forward check is disabled for all refs.
75 Optionally, a <ref> parameter can be prefixed with a plus '+' sign
76 to disable the fast-forward check only on that ref.
