    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.
