DESCRIPTION
Downloads a remote git repository via HTTP.
OPTIONS
commit-id
Either the hash or the filename under [URL]/refs/ to pull.
-c
Get the commit objects.
-t
Get trees associated with the commit objects.
-a
Get all the objects.
-v
Report what is downloaded.
-w <filename>
Writes the commit-id into the filename under $GIT_DIR/refs/<filename> on the local end after the transfer is complete.

git-http-fetch
expects lines on stdin in the format
