6 git-local-fetch - Duplicate another git repository on a local system
12 'git-local-fetch' [-c] [-t] [-a] [-d] [-v] [-w filename] [--recover] [-l] [-s] [-n]
17 Duplicates another git repository on a local system.
22 Get the commit objects.
24 Get trees associated with the commit objects.
28 Report what is downloaded.
30 Instead of regular file-to-file copying use symbolic links to the objects
31 in the remote repository.
33 Before attempting symlinks (if -s is specified) or file-to-file copying the
34 remote objects, try to hardlink the remote objects into the local
37 Never attempt to file-to-file copy remote objects. Only useful with
38 -s or -l command-line options.
41 Writes the commit-id into the filename under $GIT_DIR/refs/<filename> on
42 the local end after the transfer is complete.
45 Instead of a commit id on the commandline (which is not expected in this
46 case), 'git-local-fetch' expects lines on stdin in the format
48 <commit-id>['\t'<filename-as-in--w>]
51 Verify that everything reachable from target is fetched. Used after
52 an earlier fetch is interrupted.
