[PATCH] --upload-pack for git-fetch

From
MOMichal Ostrowski <mostrows@watson.ibm.com>
Date

Message-ID
<E1F00dY-0002XH-Nw@heater.watson.ibm.com>

Implement "git-clone"'s "--upload-pack" parameter in git-fetch, making it available for git-pull. Without this, there is no way to specify a remote executable when invoking git-pull/git-fetch as there is for git-clone.
