SYNOPSIS
--------
-'git-clone-pack' [-q] [--exec=<git-upload-pack>] [<host>:]<directory> [<head>...]

-to receive the pack.
+the named repository, and stores the sent pack in the local
+repository.
OPTIONS
-------
--q::
- Pass '-q' flag to 'git-unpack-objects'; this makes the
- cloning process less verbose.
-
--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.
- Installations of sshd ignores the user's environment
+ remote side, if it is not found on your $PATH.
+ Installations of sshd ignore the user's environment
setup scripts for login shells (e.g. .bash_profile) and
- your privately installed GIT may not be found on the system
+ your privately installed git may not be found on the system
default $PATH. Another workaround suggested is to set
up your $PATH in ".bashrc", but this flag is for people
who do not want to pay the overhead for non-interactive
The heads to update. This is relative to $GIT_DIR
(e.g. "HEAD", "refs/heads/master"). When unspecified,
all heads are updated to match the remote repository.
-
++
+Usually all the refs from existing repository are stored
+under the same name in the new repository. Giving explicit
+<head> arguments instead writes the object names and refs to
+the standard output, just like get-fetch-pack does.
