1353considered to match if it matches at least one positive refspec, and does
1354not match any negative refspec. Negative refspecs can be useful to restrict
1355the scope of a pattern refspec so that it will not include specific refs.
1356Negative refspecs can themselves be pattern refspecs. However, they may only
1357contain a &lt;src&gt; and do not specify a &lt;dst&gt;. Fully spelled out hex object

1367same rules apply for fetching as when pushing, see the <code>&lt;refspec&gt;...</code>
1368section of <a href="git-push.html">git-push(1)</a> for what those are. Exceptions to those

Junio C Hamano980e61e2018-09-17 22:45:521373considered all tag updates from a remote to be forced fetches. Since
Junio C Hamanoca9da322018-09-20 21:53:411374Git version 2.20, fetching to update <code>refs/tags/*</code> works the same way
Junio C Hamano980e61e2018-09-17 22:45:521375as when pushing. I.e. any updates will be rejected without <code>+</code> in the
1376refspec (or <code>--force</code>).</p></div>

1382<div class="paragraph"><p>Unlike when pushing with <a href="git-push.html">git-push(1)</a>, there is no

1385<div class="paragraph"><p>As with pushing with <a href="git-push.html">git-push(1)</a>, all of the rules described

1387adding an the optional leading <code>+</code> to a refspec (or using <code>--force</code>
1388command line option). The only exception to this is that no amount of
1389forcing will make the <code>refs/heads/*</code> namespace accept a non-commit

1739from it you delete all your local tags, most of which may not have
1740come from the <code>&lt;name&gt;</code> remote in the first place.</p></div>
1741<div class="paragraph"><p>So be careful when using this with a refspec like
1742<code>refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*</code>, or any other refspec which might map
1743references from multiple remotes to the same local namespace.</p></div>
1744<div class="paragraph"><p>Since keeping up-to-date with both branches and tags on the remote is
1745a common use-case the <code>--prune-tags</code> option can be supplied along with
1746<code>--prune</code> to prune local tags that don&#8217;t exist on the remote, and
1747force-update those tags that differ. Tag pruning can also be enabled
1748with <code>fetch.pruneTags</code> or <code>remote.&lt;name&gt;.pruneTags</code> in the config. See
1749<a href="git-config.html">git-config(1)</a>.</p></div>
1750<div class="paragraph"><p>The <code>--prune-tags</code> option is equivalent to having
1751<code>refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*</code> declared in the refspecs of the remote. This
1752can lead to some seemingly strange interactions:</p></div>
1753<div class="listingblock">
1754<div class="content">
1755<pre><code># These both fetch tags
1756$ git fetch --no-tags origin 'refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*'
1757$ git fetch --no-tags --prune-tags origin</code></pre>
1758</div></div>
1759<div class="paragraph"><p>The reason it doesn&#8217;t error out when provided without <code>--prune</code> or its
1760config versions is for flexibility of the configured versions, and to
1761maintain a 1=1 mapping between what the command line flags do, and
1762what the configuration versions do.</p></div>
1763<div class="paragraph"><p>It&#8217;s reasonable to e.g. configure <code>fetch.pruneTags=true</code> in
1764<code>~/.gitconfig</code> to have tags pruned whenever <code>git fetch --prune</code> is
1765run, without making every invocation of <code>git fetch</code> without <code>--prune</code>
1766an error.</p></div>
1767<div class="paragraph"><p>Pruning tags with <code>--prune-tags</code> also works when fetching a URL
1768instead of a named remote. These will all prune tags not found on
1769origin:</p></div>

1972The victim sends "have" lines advertising the IDs of objects it has that

1974 transfer if the peer also has them. The attacker chooses an object ID X

1976 X because the victim already has it. Now the victim believes that the
1977 attacker has X, and it sends the content of X back to the attacker
1978 later. (This attack is most straightforward for a client to perform on a
1979 server, by creating a ref to X in the namespace the client has access
1980 to and then fetching it. The most likely way for a server to perform it

2181 When using <code>fetch.bundleURI</code> to fetch incrementally from a bundle
2182 list that uses the "creationToken" heuristic, this config value
2183 stores the maximum <code>creationToken</code> value of the downloaded bundles.
2184 This value is used to prevent downloading bundles in the future
2185 if the advertised <code>creationToken</code> is not strictly larger than this
2186 value.
2187</p>
2188<div class="paragraph"><p>The creation token values are chosen by the provider serving the specific
2189bundle URI. If you modify the URI at <code>fetch.bundleURI</code>, then be sure to
2190remove the value for the <code>fetch.bundleCreationToken</code> value before fetching.</p></div>

2199present locally e.g. in <code>$GIT_DIR/modules/</code>. If the upstream adds a new
2200submodule, that submodule cannot be fetched until it is cloned e.g. by <code>git
2201submodule update</code>. This is expected to be fixed in a future Git version.</p></div>
