| .SH "DESCRIPTION" |
| .sp |
| Invoked by \fIgit fetch\-pack\fR, learns what objects the other side is missing, and sends them after packing\&. |
| .sp |
| This command is usually not invoked directly by the end user\&. The UI for the protocol is on the \fIgit fetch\-pack\fR side, and the program pair is meant to be used to pull updates from a remote repository\&. For push operations, see \fIgit send\-pack\fR\&. |

| .PP |
| \-\-stateless\-rpc |
| .RS 4 |
| Perform only a single read\-write cycle with stdin and stdout\&. This fits with the HTTP POST request processing model where a program may read the request, write a response, and must exit\&. |
