8 option old data in `.git/FETCH_HEAD` will be overwritten.
11 Deepen the history of a 'shallow' repository created by
12 `git clone` with `--depth=<depth>` option (see linkgit:git-clone[1])
13 by the specified number of commits.
17 When 'git-fetch' is used with `<rbranch>:<lbranch>`
18 refspec, it refuses to update the local branch
19 `<lbranch>` unless the remote branch `<rbranch>` it
20 fetches is a descendant of `<lbranch>`. This option
29 Allow several <repository> and <group> arguments to be
30 specified. No <refspec>s may be specified.
40 By default, tags that point at objects that are downloaded
41 from the remote repository are fetched and stored locally.
42 This option disables this automatic tag following.
46 Most of the tags are fetched automatically as branch
47 heads are downloaded, but tags that do not point at
48 objects reachable from the branch heads that are being
49 tracked will not be fetched by this mechanism. This
50 flag lets all tags and their associated objects be

58 to communicate with 'git-fetch', and unless you are
