27 Limit to only refs/heads and refs/tags, respectively.
28 These options are _not_ mutually exclusive; when given
29 both, references stored in refs/heads and refs/tags are
30 displayed.

32--refs::
33 Do not show peeled tags or pseudorefs like HEAD in the output.

TG
35-q::
36--quiet::
37 Do not print remote URL to stderr.
38
3240240f 39--upload-pack=<exec>::
ba020ef5 40 Specify the full path of 'git-upload-pack' on the remote
0dde6899 41 host. This allows listing references from repositories accessed via
23bfbb81 42 SSH and where the SSH daemon does not use the PATH configured by the
f0294272 43 user.

45--exit-code::
46 Exit with status "2" when no matching refs are found in the remote
47 repository. Usually the command exits with status "0" to indicate
48 it successfully talked with the remote repository, whether it
49 found any matching refs.

51--get-url::
52 Expand the URL of the given remote repository taking into account any
53 "url.<base>.insteadOf" config setting (See linkgit:git-config[1]) and
54 exit without talking to the remote.

RR
57 The "remote" repository to query. This parameter can be

62 When unspecified, all references, after filtering done
63 with --heads and --tags, are shown. When <refs>... are
64 specified, only references matching the given patterns
65 are displayed.
