DESCRIPTION

Runs git-fetch-script with the given parameters, then git-resolve-script to merge the local HEAD and FETCH_HEAD.

OPTIONS

<repository>

The "remote" repository to pull from. One of the following notations can be used to name the repository to pull from:

Rsync URL
        rsync://remote.machine/path/to/repo.git/
HTTP(s) URL
        http://remote.machine/path/to/repo.git/
GIT URL
        git://remote.machine/path/to/repo.git/
        remote.machine:/path/to/repo.git/
Local directory
        /path/to/repo.git/
In addition to that, as a short-hand, the name of a file
in $GIT_DIR/branches directory can be specified; the
named file should contain a single line, a URL in one of
the above formats, optionally followed by a hash '#' and
the name of remote head.
<head>

The remote head name to fetch from. That is, make the objects reachable from the commit recorded in $GIT_DIR/refs/heads/<head> in the remote repository available locally.

tag <tag>

The remote head tag to fetch from. That is, make the objects reachable from the commit recorded in $GIT_DIR/refs/tags/<tag> in the remote repository available locally.
