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

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


SYNOPSIS
--------
'. 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/`.
