  15 DESCRIPTION
  16 -----------
  17 Duplicates another git repository on a local system.
  18
  19 OPTIONS
  20 -------
  21 -c::
  22         Get the commit objects.
  23 -t::
  24         Get trees associated with the commit objects.
  25 -a::
  26         Get all the objects.
  27 -v::
  28         Report what is downloaded.
  29 -s::
  30         Instead of regular file-to-file copying use symbolic links to the objects
  31         in the remote repository.
  32 -l::
  33         Before attempting symlinks (if -s is specified) or file-to-file copying the
  34         remote objects, try to hardlink the remote objects into the local
  35         repository.
  36 -n::
  37         Never attempt to file-to-file copy remote objects.  Only useful with
  38         -s or -l command-line options.
  39
  40 -w <filename>::
  41         Writes the commit-id into the filename under $GIT_DIR/refs/<filename> on
  42         the local end after the transfer is complete.
  43
  44 --stdin::
  45         Instead of a commit id on the commandline (which is not expected in this
  46         case), 'git-local-fetch' expects lines on stdin in the format
  47
  48                 <commit-id>['\t'<filename-as-in--w>]
  49
  50 --recover::
  51         Verify that everything reachable from target is fetched.  Used after
  52         an earlier fetch is interrupted.
