git-local-fetch - Duplicate another git repository on a local system
git-local-fetch [-c] [-t] [-a] [-d] [-v] [-w filename] [--recover] [-l] [-s] [-n] commit-id path
Duplicates another git repository on a local system.
Get the commit objects.
Get trees associated with the commit objects.
Get all the objects.
Report what is downloaded.
Writes the commit-id into the filename under $GIT_DIR/refs/<filename> on the local end after the transfer is complete.
Instead of a commit id on the commandline (which is not expected in this case), git-local-fetch expects lines on stdin in the format
<commit-id>['\t'<filename-as-in--w>]
