 427 and asks it to send objects missing from this repository, to
 428 update the named heads.  The list of commits available locally
 429 is found out by scanning the local refs/ hierarchy and sent to
 430 <em>git-upload-pack</em> running on the other end.</p></div>
 431 <div class="paragraph"><p>This command degenerates to download everything to complete the
 432 asked refs from the remote side when the local side does not
 433 have a common ancestor commit.</p></div>

 465 <p>
 466         Do not invoke <em>git unpack-objects</em> on received data, but
 467         create a single packfile out of it instead, and store it
 468         in the object database. If provided twice then the pack is
 469         locked against repacking.

 476 <p>
 477         Fetch a "thin" pack, which records objects in deltified form based
 478         on objects not included in the pack to reduce network traffic.

 484 <dd>
 485 <p>
 486         If the remote side supports it, annotated tags objects will
 487         be downloaded on the same connection as the other objects if
 488         the object the tag references is downloaded.  The caller must
 489         otherwise determine the tags this option made available.

 497         Use this to specify the path to <em>git-upload-pack</em> on the
 498         remote side, if is not found on your $PATH.
 499         Installations of sshd ignores the user&#8217;s environment
 500         setup scripts for login shells (e.g. .bash_profile) and
 501         your privately installed git may not be found on the system
 502         default $PATH.  Another workaround suggested is to set
 503         up your $PATH in ".bashrc", but this flag is for people
 504         who do not want to pay the overhead for non-interactive
 505         shells by having a lean .bashrc file (they set most of
 506         the things up in .bash_profile).
