This option + overrides that check. + +-n, \--no-tags:: + By default, `git-fetch` fetches tags that point at + objects that are downloaded from the remote repository + and stores them locally. This option disables this + automatic tag following. + +-t, \--tags:: + Most of the tags are fetched automatically as branch + heads are downloaded, but tags that do not point at + objects reachable from the branch heads that are being + tracked will not be fetched by this mechanism. This + flag lets all tags and their associated objects be + downloaded. + +-k, \--keep:: + Keep downloaded pack. + +-u, \--update-head-ok:: + By default `git-fetch` refuses to update the head which + corresponds to the current branch. This flag disables the + check. This is purely for the internal use for `git-pull` + to communicate with `git-fetch`, and unless you are + implementing your own Porcelain you are not supposed to + use it. + +\--depth=<depth>:: + Deepen the history of a 'shallow' repository created by + `git clone` with `--depth=<depth>` option (see gitlink:git-clone[1]) + by the specified number of commits. |
