SYNOPSIS
git http-fetch [-c] [-t] [-a] [-d] [-v] [-w filename] [--recover] [--stdin] <commit> <url>
DESCRIPTION
Downloads a remote Git repository via HTTP.
This command always gets all objects. Historically, there were three options
-a, -c and -t for choosing which objects to download. They are now
silently ignored.
OPTIONS
- commit-id
- 
Either the hash or the filename under [URL]/refs/ to pull. 
- -a, -c, -t
- 
These options are ignored for historical reasons. 
- -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.
