-git-peek-remote(1)
-==================
-
-NAME
-----
-git-peek-remote - List the references in a remote repository
-
-
-SYNOPSIS
---------
-[verse]
-'git peek-remote' [--upload-pack=<git-upload-pack>] [<host>:]<directory>
-
-DESCRIPTION
------------
-This command is deprecated; use 'git ls-remote' instead.
-
-OPTIONS
--------
---upload-pack=<git-upload-pack>::
-	Use this to specify the path to 'git-upload-pack' on the
-	remote side, if it is not found on your $PATH. Some
-	installations of sshd ignores the user's environment
-	setup scripts for login shells (e.g. .bash_profile) and
-	your privately installed git may not be found on the system
-	default $PATH.  Another workaround suggested is to set
-	up your $PATH in ".bashrc", but this flag is for people
-	who do not want to pay the overhead for non-interactive
-	shells, but prefer having a lean .bashrc file (they set most of
-	the things up in .bash_profile).
-
-<host>::
-	A remote host that houses the repository.  When this
-	part is specified, 'git-upload-pack' is invoked via
-	ssh.
-
-<directory>::
-	The repository to sync from.
