Add urls.txt to git-clone man page
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Since git-clone is one of the many commands taking
URLs to remote repositories as an argument, it should include
the URL-types list from urls.txt.

Split up urls.txt into urls.txt and urls-remotes.txt.  The latter
should be used by anything besides git-clone where a discussion of
using .git/config and .git/remotes/ to name URLs just doesn't make
as much sense.

REMOTES
-------

In addition to the above, as a short-hand, the name of a
file in `$GIT_DIR/remotes` directory can be given; the
named file should be in the following format:

------------
URL: one of the above URL format
Push: <refspec>
Pull: <refspec>

------------

Then such a short-hand is specified in place of
<repository> without <refspec> parameters on the command
line, <refspec> specified on `Push:` lines or `Pull:`
lines are used for `git-push` and `git-fetch`/`git-pull`,
respectively. Multiple `Push:` and `Pull:` lines may
be specified for additional branch mappings.

Or, equivalently, in the `$GIT_DIR/config` (note the use
of `fetch` instead of `Pull:`):

------------
[remote "<remote>"]
url = <url>
push = <refspec>
fetch = <refspec>

------------

The name of a file in `$GIT_DIR/branches` directory can be
specified as an older notation short-hand; the named
file should contain a single line, a URL in one of the
above formats, optionally followed by a hash `#` and the
name of remote head (URL fragment notation).
`$GIT_DIR/branches/<remote>` file that stores a <url>
without the fragment is equivalent to have this in the
corresponding file in the `$GIT_DIR/remotes/` directory.

------------
URL: <url>
Pull: refs/heads/master:<remote>

------------

while having `<url>#<head>` is equivalent to

------------
URL: <url>
Pull: refs/heads/<head>:<remote>
