This was added in c207e34 (fix push --quiet: add 'quiet' capability to receive-pack, 2012-01-08) but never documented. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-07-24document 'agent' protocol capabilityJeff King

2013-07-24docs: note that receive-pack knows side-band-64k capabilityJeff King
The protocol-capabilities documentation notes that any capabilities not explicitly mentioned for receive-pack work only for upload-pack. Receive-pack has advertised and understood side-band-64k since 38a81b4 (receive-pack: Wrap status reports inside side-band-64k, 2010-02-05), but we do not mention it explicitly. Let's do so. Note that receive-pack does not understand side-band, which was obsolete by that point. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2009-11-13Update packfile transfer protocol documentationScott Chacon
The current technical documentation for the packfile protocol is both sparse and incorrect. This documents the fetch-pack/upload-pack and send-pack/ receive-pack protocols much more fully. Add documentation from Shawn's upcoming http-protocol docs that is shared by the packfile protocol. protocol-common.txt describes ABNF notation amendments, refname rules and the packet line format. Add documentation on the various capabilities supported by the upload-pack and receive-pack protocols. protocol-capabilities.txt describes multi-ack, thin-pack, side-band[-64k], shallow, no-progress, include-tag, ofs-delta, delete-refs and report-status.
