14 branch history. Tags for the deepened commits are not fetched.

Daniel Johnsoned368542010-08-11 18:57:20 -040057 This option disables this automatic tag following. The default
58 behavior for a remote may be specified with the remote.<name>.tagopt
59 setting. See linkgit:git-config[1].

Junio C Hamanof0cb2f12012-12-13 16:19:45 -080065 refspec from the command line, to ask all tags to be fetched
66 and stored locally. Because this acts as an explicit
67 refspec, the default refspecs (configured with the
68 remote.$name.fetch variable) are overridden and not used.

Jens Lehmann8f0700d2011-03-06 23:11:21 +010070--recurse-submodules[=yes|on-demand|no]::
71 This option controls if and under what conditions new commits of
72 populated submodules should be fetched too. It can be used as a
73 boolean option to completely disable recursion when set to 'no' or to
74 unconditionally recurse into all populated submodules when set to
75 'yes', which is the default when this option is used without any
76 value. Use 'on-demand' to only recurse into a populated submodule
77 when the superproject retrieves a commit that updates the submodule's
Jens Lehmannc16c3e42011-03-06 23:12:58 +010078 reference to a commit that isn't already in the local submodule
79 clone.

81--no-recurse-submodules::

88 internally when recursing over submodules.

90--recurse-submodules-default=[yes|on-demand]::
91 This option is used internally to temporarily provide a
92 non-negative default value for the --recurse-submodules
93 option. All other methods of configuring fetch's submodule
94 recursion (such as settings in linkgit:gitmodules[5] and
95 linkgit:git-config[1]) override this option, as does
96 specifying --[no-]recurse-submodules directly.

Thomas Rast0b444cd2010-01-10 00:33:00 +0100101 By default 'git fetch' refuses to update the head which
Jon Loeliger93d69d82005-11-06 23:30:56 -0600102 corresponds to the current branch. This flag disables the
Thomas Rast0b444cd2010-01-10 00:33:00 +0100103 check. This is purely for the internal use for 'git pull'
104 to communicate with 'git fetch', and unless you are

106 use it.
