Various particular -helper programs will behave as documented here. - -COMMANDS --------- - -Commands are given by the caller on the helper's standard input, one per line. - -'capabilities':: - Lists the capabilities of the helper, one per line, ending - with a blank line. - -'list':: - Lists the refs, one per line, in the format "<value> <name> - [<attr> ...]". The value may be a hex sha1 hash, "@<dest>" for - a symref, or "?" to indicate that the helper could not get the - value of the ref. A space-separated list of attributes follows - the name; unrecognized attributes are ignored. After the - complete list, outputs a blank line. - -'fetch' <sha1> <name>:: - Fetches the given object, writing the necessary objects to the - database. Outputs a blank line when the fetch is - complete. Only objects which were reported in the ref list - with a sha1 may be fetched this way. -+ -Supported if the helper has the "fetch" capability. - -If a fatal error occurs, the program writes the error message to -stderr and exits. The caller should expect that a suitable error -message has been printed if the child closes the connection without -completing a valid response for the current command. - -Additional commands may be supported, as may be determined from -capabilities reported by the helper. - -CAPABILITIES ------------- - -'fetch':: - This helper supports the 'fetch' command. - -REF LIST ATTRIBUTES -------------------- - -None are defined yet, but the caller must accept any which are supplied. - -Documentation -------------- -Documentation by Daniel Barkalow. - -GIT ---- -Part of the linkgit:git[1] suite |
