+git-http-fetch(1)
+=================
+
+NAME
+----
+git-http-fetch - Download from a remote Git repository via HTTP
+
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'git http-fetch' [-c] [-t] [-a] [-d] [-v] [-w filename] [--recover] [--stdin] <commit> <url>
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+Downloads a remote Git repository via HTTP.
+
+*NOTE*: use of this command without -a is deprecated. The -a
+behaviour will become the default in a future release.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+commit-id::
+ Either the hash or the filename under [URL]/refs/ to
+ pull.
+
+-c::
+ Get the commit objects.
+-t::
+ Get trees associated with the commit objects.
+-a::
+ Get all the objects.
+-v::
+ Report what is downloaded.
+
+-w <filename>::
+ Writes the commit-id into the filename under $GIT_DIR/refs/<filename> on
+ the local end after the transfer is complete.
+
+--stdin::
+ Instead of a commit id on the command line (which is not expected in this
+ case), 'git http-fetch' expects lines on stdin in the format
+
+ <commit-id>['\t'<filename-as-in--w>]
+
+--recover::
+ Verify that everything reachable from target is fetched. Used after
+ an earlier fetch is interrupted.
