   9 SYNOPSIS
  10 --------
  11 [verse]
  12 'git http-fetch' [-c] [-t] [-a] [-d] [-v] [-w filename] [--recover] [--stdin] <commit> <url>
  13
  14 DESCRIPTION
  15 -----------
  16 Downloads a remote Git repository via HTTP.
  17
  18 This command always gets all objects. Historically, there were three options
  19 `-a`, `-c` and `-t` for choosing which objects to download. They are now
  20 silently ignored.
  21
  22 OPTIONS
  23 -------
  24 commit-id::
  25         Either the hash or the filename under [URL]/refs/ to
  26         pull.
  27
  28 -a, -c, -t::
  29         These options are ignored for historical reasons.
  30 -v::
  31         Report what is downloaded.
  32
  33 -w <filename>::
  34         Writes the commit-id into the filename under $GIT_DIR/refs/<filename> on
  35         the local end after the transfer is complete.
  36
  37 --stdin::
  38         Instead of a commit id on the command line (which is not expected in this
  39         case), 'git http-fetch' expects lines on stdin in the format
  40
  41                 <commit-id>['\t'<filename-as-in--w>]
  42
  43 --recover::
  44         Verify that everything reachable from target is fetched.  Used after
  45         an earlier fetch is interrupted.
