This also bumps the stable nixpkgs to 20.09 as of 2020-11-21, because there is some breakage in the git build related to the netrc credentials helper which someone has taken care of in nixpkgs. The stable channel is not used for anything other than git, so this should be fine. Change-Id: I3575a19dab09e1e9556cf8231d717de9890484fb

NAME

|
----
|
|
git-http-fetch - Download from a remote Git repository via HTTP
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
'git http-fetch' [-c] [-t] [-a] [-d] [-v] [-w filename] [--recover] [--stdin | --packfile=<hash> | <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>]
|
|
|
|
--packfile=<hash>::
|
|
Instead of a commit id on the command line (which is not expected in
|
|
this case), 'git http-fetch' fetches the packfile directly at the given
|
|
URL and uses index-pack to generate corresponding .idx and .keep files.
|
|
The hash is used to determine the name of the temporary file and is
|
|
arbitrary. The output of index-pack is printed to stdout.
|
|
|
|
--recover::
|
|
Verify that everything reachable from target is fetched. Used after
|
|
an earlier fetch is interrupted.
