16 | Fetches named heads or tags from another repository, along with |
17 | the objects necessary to complete them. | |
18 | ||
19 | The ref names and their object names of fetched refs are stored | |
20 | in $GIT_DIR/FETCH_HEAD. This information is left for a later merge | |
21 | operation done by "git resolve" or "git octopus". | |

28 | -u, \--update-head-ok:: |
29 | By default 'git-fetch' refuses to update the head which | |
30 | corresponds to the current branch. This flag disables the | |
31 | check. Note that fetching into the current branch will not | |
32 | update the index and working directory, so use it with care. | |
