+NAME
+----
+git-parse-remote - Routines to help parsing $GIT_DIR/remotes/
+
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+'. git-parse-remote'
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+This script is included in various scripts to supply
+routines to parse files under $GIT_DIR/remotes/ and
+$GIT_DIR/branches/.
+
+The primary entry points are:
+
+get_remote_refs_for_fetch::
+ Given the list of user-supplied `<repo> <refspec>...`,
+ return the list of refs to fetch after canonicalizing
+ them into `$GIT_DIR` relative paths
+ (e.g. `refs/heads/foo`). When `<refspec>...` is empty
+ the returned list of refs consists of the defaults
+ for the given `<repo>`, if specified in
+ `$GIT_DIR/remotes/` or `$GIT_DIR/branches/`.
+
+get_remote_refs_for_push::
+ Given the list of user-supplied `<repo> <refspec>...`,
+ return the list of refs to push in a form suitable to be
+ fed to the `git-send-pack` command. When `<refspec>...`
+ is empty the returned list of refs consists of the
+ defaults for the given `<repo>`, if specified in
+ `$GIT_DIR/remotes/`.
