   1 <repository>::
   2         The "remote" repository to pull from.  One of the
   3         following notations can be used to name the repository
   4         to pull from:
   5
   6                 Rsync URL
   7                         rsync://remote.machine/path/to/repo.git/
   8
   9                 HTTP(s) URL
  10                         http://remote.machine/path/to/repo.git/
  11
  12                 GIT URL
  13                         git://remote.machine/path/to/repo.git/
  14                         remote.machine:/path/to/repo.git/
  15
  16                 Local directory
  17                         /path/to/repo.git/
  18
  19         In addition to that, as a short-hand, the name of a file
  20         in $GIT_DIR/branches directory can be specified; the
  21         named file should contain a single line, a URL in one of
  22         the above formats, optionally followed by a hash '#' and
  23         the name of remote head.
  24
  25 <head>::
  26         The remote head name to fetch from.  That is, make the
  27         objects reachable from the commit recorded in
  28         $GIT_DIR/refs/heads/<head> in the remote repository
  29         available locally.
  30
  31 tag <tag>::
  32         The remote head tag to fetch from.  That is, make the
  33         objects reachable from the commit recorded in
  34         $GIT_DIR/refs/tags/<tag> in the remote repository
  35         available locally.
