NAME
     git-http-fetch - Download from a remote git repository via
     HTTP

SYNOPSIS
     git http-fetch [-c] [-t] [-a] [-d] [-v] [-w filename] [--recover] [--stdin] <commit> <url>


DESCRIPTION
     Downloads a remote git repository via HTTP.

     NOTE: use of this command without -a is deprecated. The -a
     behaviour will become the default in a future release.

OPTIONS
     commit-id
         Either the hash or the filename under [URL]/refs/ to
         pull.

     -c
         Get the commit objects.

     -t
         Get trees associated with the commit objects.

     -a
         Get all the objects.

     -v
         Report what is downloaded.

     -w <filename>
         Writes the commit-id into the filename under
         $GIT_DIR/refs/<filename> on the local end after the
         transfer is complete.

     --stdin
         Instead of a commit id on the command line (which is not
         expected in this case), git http-fetch expects lines on
         stdin in the format

             <commit-id>['\t'<filename-as-in--w>]

     --recover
         Verify that everything reachable from target is fetched.
         Used after an earlier fetch is interrupted.
