JH
24 Limit to only refs/heads and refs/tags, respectively.
25 These options are _not_ mutually exclusive; when given
26 both, references stored in refs/heads and refs/tags are

28
0dde6899
JF
29-u <exec>, --upload-pack=<exec>::
30 Specify the full path of gitlink:git-upload-pack[1] on the remote
31 host. This allows listing references from repositories accessed via
23bfbb81 32 SSH and where the SSH daemon does not use the PATH configured by the
0dde6899
JF
33 user. Also see the '--exec' option for gitlink:git-peek-remote[1].
34
972b6fe7
JH
35<repository>::
36 Location of the repository. The shorthand defined in
0dde6899
JF
37 $GIT_DIR/branches/ can be used. Use "." (dot) to list references in
38 the local repository.

JH
39
40<refs>...::
41 When unspecified, all references, after filtering done
42 with --heads and --tags, are shown. When <refs>... are
43 specified, only references matching the given patterns
44 are displayed.
