OPTIONS

-q::
\--all::
Fetch all remote refs.

\--quiet, \-q::
Pass '-q' flag to 'git-unpack-objects'; this makes the
cloning process less verbose.

-k::
\--keep, \-k::
Do not invoke 'git-unpack-objects' on received data, but
create a single packfile out of it instead, and store it
in the object database. If provided twice then the pack is
locked against repacking.

\--thin::
Spend extra cycles to minimize the number of objects to be sent.
Use it on slower connection.

\--exec=<git-upload-pack>::
Use this to specify the path to 'git-upload-pack' on the
remote side, if is not found on your $PATH.

OPTIONS

--exec=<git-receive-pack>::
\--exec=<git-receive-pack>::
Path to the 'git-receive-pack' program on the remote
end. Sometimes useful when pushing to a remote
repository over ssh, and you do not have the program in
a directory on the default $PATH.

--all::
\--all::
Instead of explicitly specifying which refs to update,
update all refs that locally exist.

--force::
\--force::
Usually, the command refuses to update a remote ref that
is not an ancestor of the local ref used to overwrite it.
This flag disables the check. What this means is that
the remote repository can lose commits; use it with
care.

\--verbose::
Run verbosely.

\--thin::
Spend extra cycles to minimize the number of objects to be sent.
Use it on slower connection.

<host>::
A remote host to house the repository. When this
