6 git-clone-pack - Clones a repository by receiving packed objects.
11 'git-clone-pack' [-q] [--exec=<git-upload-pack>] [<host>:]<directory> [<head>...]
15 Clones a repository into the current repository by invoking
16 'git-upload-pack', possibly on the remote host via ssh, in
17 the named repository, and invoking 'git-unpack-objects' locally
23 Pass '-q' flag to 'git-unpack-objects'; this makes the
24 cloning process less verbose.
26 --exec=<git-upload-pack>::
27 Use this to specify the path to 'git-upload-pack' on the
28 remote side, if it is not found on your $PATH.
29 Installations of sshd ignore the user's environment
30 setup scripts for login shells (e.g. .bash_profile) and
31 your privately installed git may not be found on the system
32 default $PATH. Another workaround suggested is to set
33 up your $PATH in ".bashrc", but this flag is for people
34 who do not want to pay the overhead for non-interactive
35 shells by having a lean .bashrc file (they set most of
36 the things up in .bash_profile).
39 A remote host that houses the repository. When this
40 part is specified, 'git-upload-pack' is invoked via
44 The repository to sync from.
47 The heads to update. This is relative to $GIT_DIR
48 (e.g. "HEAD", "refs/heads/master"). When unspecified,
49 all heads are updated to match the remote repository.
