6 git-http-push - Push objects over HTTP/DAV to another repository
11 'git-http-push' [--all] [--dry-run] [--force] [--verbose] <url> <ref> [<ref>...]
15 Sends missing objects to remote repository, and updates the
18 *NOTE*: This command is temporarily disabled if your libcurl
19 is older than 7.16, as the combination has been reported
20 not to work and sometimes corrupts repository.
25 Do not assume that the remote repository is complete in its
26 current state, and verify all objects in the entire local
27 ref's history exist in the remote repository.
30 Usually, the command refuses to update a remote ref that
31 is not an ancestor of the local ref used to overwrite it.
32 This flag disables the check. What this means is that
33 the remote repository can lose commits; use it with
37 Do everything except actually send the updates.
40 Report the list of objects being walked locally and the
41 list of objects successfully sent to the remote repository.
45 Remove <ref> from remote repository. The specified branch
46 cannot be the remote HEAD. If -d is specified the following
47 other conditions must also be met:
49 - Remote HEAD must resolve to an object that exists locally
50 - Specified branch resolves to an object that exists locally
51 - Specified branch is an ancestor of the remote HEAD
54 The remote refs to update.
60 A '<ref>' specification can be either a single pattern, or a pair
61 of such patterns separated by a colon ":" (this means that a ref name
62 cannot have a colon in it). A single pattern '<name>' is just a
63 shorthand for '<name>:<name>'.
65 Each pattern pair consists of the source side (before the colon)
66 and the destination side (after the colon). The ref to be
67 pushed is determined by finding a match that matches the source
68 side, and where it is pushed is determined by using the
71 - It is an error if <src> does not match exactly one of the
74 - If <dst> does not match any remote ref, either
76 * it has to start with "refs/"; <dst> is used as the
77 destination literally in this case.
79 * <src> == <dst> and the ref that matched the <src> must not
80 exist in the set of remote refs; the ref matched <src>
81 locally is used as the name of the destination.
83 Without '--force', the <src> ref is stored at the remote only if
84 <dst> does not exist, or <dst> is a proper subset (i.e. an
85 ancestor) of <src>. This check, known as "fast forward check",
86 is performed in order to avoid accidentally overwriting the
87 remote ref and lose other peoples' commits from there.
89 With '--force', the fast forward check is disabled for all refs.
91 Optionally, a <ref> parameter can be prefixed with a plus '+' sign
92 to disable the fast-forward check only on that ref.
