 Updates remote refs using local refs, while sending objects
 necessary to complete the given refs.
 
+You can make interesting things happen to a repository
+every time you push into it, by setting up 'hooks' there.  See
+documentation for gitlink:git-receive-pack[1].

 OPTIONS

-include::pull-fetch-param.txt[]
+<repository>::
+	The "remote" repository that is destination of a push
+	operation.  See the section <<URLS,GIT URLS>> below.
+
+<refspec>::
+	The canonical format of a <refspec> parameter is
+	`+?<src>:<dst>`; that is, an optional plus `+`, followed
+	by the source ref, followed by a colon `:`, followed by
+	the destination ref.
++
+The <src> side can be an
+arbitrary "SHA1 expression" that can be used as an
+argument to `git-cat-file -t`.  E.g. `master~4` (push
+four parents before the current master head).
++
+The local ref that matches <src> is used
+to fast forward the remote ref that matches <dst>.  If
+the optional plus `+` is used, the remote ref is updated
+even if it does not result in a fast forward update.
++
+Some short-cut notations are also supported.
++
+* `tag <tag>` means the same as `refs/tags/<tag>:refs/tags/<tag>`.
+* A parameter <ref> without a colon is equivalent to
+  <ref>`:`<ref>, hence updates <ref> in the destination from <ref>
+  in the source.
+
+\--all::
+	Instead of naming each ref to push, specifies that all
+	refs be pushed.
+
+\--tags::
+	All refs under `$GIT_DIR/refs/tags` are pushed, in
+	addition to refspecs explicitly listed on the command
+	line.
+
+-f, \--force::
+	Usually, the command refuses to update a remote ref that is
+	not a descendent of the local ref used to overwrite it.
+	This flag disables the check.  This can cause the
+	remote repository to lose commits; use it with care.
