Teach http-fetch the ability to download packfiles directly, given a URL, and to verify them. The http_pack_request suite has been augmented with a function that takes a URL directly. With this function, the hash is only used to determine the name of the temporary file. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Tan <jonathantanmy@google.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

git-http-fetch - Download from a remote Git repository via HTTP
|
|
|
|
|

SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
'git http-fetch' [-c] [-t] [-a] [-d] [-v] [-w filename] [--recover] [--stdin | --packfile=<hash> | <commit>] <url>
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
Downloads a remote Git repository via HTTP.
|
|
|
|
This command always gets all objects. Historically, there were three options
|
|
`-a`, `-c` and `-t` for choosing which objects to download. They are now
|
|
silently ignored.
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
commit-id::
|
|
Either the hash or the filename under [URL]/refs/ to
|
|
pull.
|
|
|
|
-a, -c, -t::
|
|
These options are ignored for historical reasons.
|
|
-v::
|
|
Report what is downloaded.
|
|
|
|
-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 command line (which is not expected in this
|
|
case), 'git http-fetch' expects lines on stdin in the format
|
|
|
|
<commit-id>['\t'<filename-as-in--w>]
|
|
|
|
--packfile=<hash>::
|
|
Instead of a commit id on the command line (which is not expected in
|
|
this case), 'git http-fetch' fetches the packfile directly at the given
|
|
URL and uses index-pack to generate corresponding .idx and .keep files.
|
|
The hash is used to determine the name of the temporary file and is
|
|
arbitrary. The output of index-pack is printed to stdout.
|
|
|
|
--recover::
|
|
Verify that everything reachable from target is fetched. Used after
|
|
an earlier fetch is interrupted.
