===================

NAME
----
git-parse-remote - Routines to help parsing remote repository access parameters


SYNOPSIS
--------
'. "$(git --exec-path)/git-parse-remote"'

DESCRIPTION
-----------
This script is included in various scripts to supply
routines to parse files under $GIT_DIR/remotes/ and
$GIT_DIR/branches/ and configuration variables that are related
to fetching, pulling and pushing.

The primary entry points are:

get_remote_refs_for_fetch::
	Given the list of user-supplied `<repo> <refspec>...`,
	return the list of refs to fetch after canonicalizing
	them into `$GIT_DIR` relative paths
	(e.g. `refs/heads/foo`).  When `<refspec>...` is empty
	the returned list of refs consists of the defaults
	for the given `<repo>`, if specified in
	`$GIT_DIR/remotes/`, `$GIT_DIR/branches/`, or `remote.*.fetch`
	configuration.

get_remote_refs_for_push::
	Given the list of user-supplied `<repo> <refspec>...`,
	return the list of refs to push in a form suitable to be
	fed to the 'git-send-pack' command.  When `<refspec>...`
	is empty the returned list of refs consists of the
	defaults for the given `<repo>`, if specified in
	`$GIT_DIR/remotes/`.
