Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 1e2320161d docs: move http-protocol docs to man section 5
Continue the move of existing Documentation/technical/* protocol and
file-format documentation into our main documentation space by moving
the http-protocol.txt documentation over. I'm renaming it to
"protocol-http" to be consistent with other things in the new
gitformat-protocol-* namespace.

git-upload-pack(1)
==================
NAME
----
git-upload-pack - Send objects packed back to git-fetch-pack
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'git-upload-pack' [--[no-]strict] [--timeout=<n>] [--stateless-rpc]
[--advertise-refs] <directory>
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Invoked by 'git fetch-pack', learns what
objects the other side is missing, and sends them after packing.
This command is usually not invoked directly by the end user.
The UI for the protocol is on the 'git fetch-pack' side, and the
program pair is meant to be used to pull updates from a remote
repository. For push operations, see 'git send-pack'.
OPTIONS
-------
--[no-]strict::
Do not try <directory>/.git/ if <directory> is no Git directory.
--timeout=<n>::
Interrupt transfer after <n> seconds of inactivity.
--stateless-rpc::
Perform only a single read-write cycle with stdin and stdout.
This fits with the HTTP POST request processing model where
a program may read the request, write a response, and must exit.
--http-backend-info-refs::
Used by linkgit:git-http-backend[1] to serve up
`$GIT_URL/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack` requests. See
"Smart Clients" in linkgit:gitprotocol-http[5] and "HTTP
Transport" in in the linkgit:gitprotocol-v2[5]
documentation. Also understood by
linkgit:git-receive-pack[1].
<directory>::
The repository to sync from.
ENVIRONMENT
-----------
`GIT_PROTOCOL`::
Internal variable used for handshaking the wire protocol. Server
admins may need to configure some transports to allow this
variable to be passed. See the discussion in linkgit:git[1].
