We do not accept multiple <refspecs> on one Pull:/Push: line right now (we could lift this tentative workaround for the broken refnames), but we have always accepted multiple such lines, so use that form in the examples and discussion. Also explicitly mention that Octopus is made only with an explicit command line request and never from Pull: lines. Add a couple of cross references. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

============

|
|
NAME
|
|
----
|
|
git-fetch - Download objects and a head from another repository.
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git-fetch' <repository> <refspec>...
|
|
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
Fetches named heads or tags from another repository, along with
|
|
the objects necessary to complete them.
|
|
|
|
The ref names and their object names of fetched refs are stored
|
|
in $GIT_DIR/FETCH_HEAD. This information is left for a later merge
|
|
operation done by "git resolve" or "git octopus".
|
|
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
include::pull-fetch-param.txt[]
|
|
|
|
-a, \--append::
|
|
Append ref names and object names of fetched refs to the
|
|
existing contents of $GIT_DIR/FETCH_HEAD. Without this
|
|
option old data in $GIT_DIR/FETCH_HEAD will be overwritten.
|
|
|
|
-u, \--update-head-ok::
|
|
By default 'git-fetch' refuses to update the head which
|
|
corresponds to the current branch. This flag disables the
|
|
check. Note that fetching into the current branch will not
|
|
update the index and working directory, so use it with care.
