From 6ec311da34cbbc8a571bf889b6ef00c4efb441b5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Junio C Hamano Date: Wed, 13 Jul 2005 20:25:54 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] clone-pack and clone-script: documentation and add a missing parameter. While adding the documentation for these two commands, I noticed that the name of the program on the other end (git-upload-pack) is already almost configurable but git-clone-pack lacked command line parameter parsing to actually use anything but default, so I introduced --exec= like other remote commands while I was at it.
