 325 <h2 id="_description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
 326 <div class="sectionbody">
 327 <div class="para"><p>Usually you would want to use <em>git fetch</em>, which is a
 328 higher level wrapper of this command, instead.</p></div>
 329 <div class="para"><p>Invokes <em>git-upload-pack</em> on a possibly remote repository
 330 and asks it to send objects missing from this repository, to
 331 update the named heads.  The list of commits available locally
 332 is found out by scanning the local refs/ hierarchy and sent to
 333 <em>git-upload-pack</em> running on the other end.</p></div>
 334 <div class="para"><p>This command degenerates to download everything to complete the
 335 asked refs from the remote side when the local side does not
 336 have a common ancestor commit.</p></div>
 337 </div>
 338 <h2 id="_options">OPTIONS</h2>
 339 <div class="sectionbody">
 340 <div class="vlist"><dl>
 341 <dt>
 342 --all
 343 </dt>
 344 <dd>
 345 <p>
 346         Fetch all remote refs.
 347 </p>
 348 </dd>
 349 <dt>
 350 -q
 351 </dt>
 352 <dt>
 353 --quiet
 354 </dt>
 355 <dd>
 356 <p>
 357         Pass <em>-q</em> flag to <em>git unpack-objects</em>; this makes the
 358         cloning process less verbose.
 359 </p>
 360 </dd>
 361 <dt>
 362 -k
 363 </dt>
 364 <dt>
 365 --keep
 366 </dt>
 367 <dd>
 368 <p>
 369         Do not invoke <em>git unpack-objects</em> on received data, but
 370         create a single packfile out of it instead, and store it
 371         in the object database. If provided twice then the pack is
 372         locked against repacking.
 373 </p>
 374 </dd>
 375 <dt>
 376 --thin
 377 </dt>
 378 <dd>
 379 <p>
 380         Fetch a "thin" pack, which records objects in deltified form based
 381         on objects not included in the pack to reduce network traffic.
 382 </p>
 383 </dd>
 384 <dt>
 385 --include-tag
 386 </dt>
 387 <dd>
 388 <p>
 389         If the remote side supports it, annotated tags objects will
 390         be downloaded on the same connection as the other objects if
 391         the object the tag references is downloaded.  The caller must
 392         otherwise determine the tags this option made available.
 393 </p>
 394 </dd>
 395 <dt>
 396 --upload-pack=&lt;git-upload-pack&gt;
 397 </dt>
 398 <dd>
 399 <p>
 400         Use this to specify the path to <em>git-upload-pack</em> on the
 401         remote side, if is not found on your $PATH.
 402         Installations of sshd ignores the user's environment
 403         setup scripts for login shells (e.g. .bash_profile) and
 404         your privately installed git may not be found on the system
 405         default $PATH.  Another workaround suggested is to set
 406         up your $PATH in ".bashrc", but this flag is for people
 407         who do not want to pay the overhead for non-interactive
 408         shells by having a lean .bashrc file (they set most of
 409         the things up in .bash_profile).
