git-send-pack(1)
================
v0.1, July 2005
NAME
----
git-send-pack - Push missing objects packed.
SYNOPSIS
--------
'git-send-pack' [--all] [--exec=<git-receive-pack>] [<host>:]<directory> [<head>...]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Invokes 'git-receive-pack' on a possibly remote repository, and
updates it from the current repository, sending named heads.
OPTIONS
-------
--exec=<git-receive-pack>::
Path to the 'git-receive-pack' program on the remote
end. Sometimes useful when pushing to a remote
repository over ssh, and you do not have the program in
a directory on the default $PATH.
--all::
Instead of explicitly specifying which refs to update,
update all refs that locally exist.
<host>::
A remote host to house the repository. When this
part is specified, 'git-receive-pack' is invoked via
ssh.
<directory>::
The repository to update.
<head>...:
The remote refs to update.
Specifying the Refs
-------------------
There are three ways to specify which refs to update on the
remote end.
With '--all' flag, all refs that exist locally are transfered to
the remote side. You cannot specify any '<head>' if you use
this flag.
Without '--all' and without any '<head>', the refs that exist
both on the local side and on the remote side are updated.
When '<head>'s are specified explicitly, it can be either a
single pattern, or a pair of such pattern separated by a colon
':' (this means that a ref name cannot have a colon in it). A
single pattern '<name>' is just a shorthand for '<name>:<name>'.
Each pattern pair consists of the source side (before the colon)
and the destination side (after the colon). The ref that is
pushed is determined by finding a match that matches the source
side, and where it is pushed is determined by using the
destination side.
- It is an error if <src> does not match exactly one of local
refs.
- It is an error if <dst> matches more than one remote refs.
- If <dst> does not match any remote ref, either
- it has to start with "refs/"; <dst> is used as the
destination literally in this case.
- <src> == <dst> and the ref that matched the <src> must not
exist in the set of remote refs; the ref matched <src>
locally is used as the name of the destination.
