+==================
+
+NAME
+----
+git-local-fetch - Duplicate another git repository on a local system
+
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+'git-local-fetch' [-c] [-t] [-a] [-d] [-v] [-w filename] [--recover] [-l] [-s] [-n] commit-id path
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+Duplicates another git repository on a local system.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+-c::
+ Get the commit objects.
+-t::
+ Get trees associated with the commit objects.
+-a::
+ Get all the objects.
+-v::
+ Report what is downloaded.
+-s::
+ Instead of regular file-to-file copying use symbolic links to the objects
+ in the remote repository.
+-l::
+ Before attempting symlinks (if -s is specified) or file-to-file copying the
+ remote objects, try to hardlink the remote objects into the local
+ repository.
+-n::
+ Never attempt to file-to-file copy remote objects. Only useful with
+ -s or -l command-line options.
+
+-w <filename>::
+ Writes the commit-id into the filename under $GIT_DIR/refs/<filename> on
+ the local end after the transfer is complete.
+
+--stdin::
+ Instead of a commit id on the commandline (which is not expected in this
+ case), 'git-local-fetch' expects lines on stdin in the format
+
+ <commit-id>['\t'<filename-as-in--w>]
+
+--recover::
+ Verify that everything reachable from target is fetched. Used after
+ an earlier fetch is interrupted.
