SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
-'git http-fetch' [-c] [-t] [-a] [-d] [-v] [-w filename] [--recover] [--stdin] <commit> <url>
+'git http-fetch' [-c] [-t] [-a] [-d] [-v] [-w filename] [--recover] [--stdin | --packfile=<hash> | <commit>] <url>
DESCRIPTION
-----------
<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.
