from the git-pull manpage:

        --upload-pack <upload-pack>
               When given, and the repository to fetch from is handled by
               git-fetch-pack, --exec=<upload-pack> is passed to the command
               to specify non-default path for the command run on the other
               end.

and git-pull:

        --receive-pack=<git-receive-pack>
               Path to the git-receive-pack program on the remote end.
               Sometimes useful when pushing to a remote repository over ssh,
               and you do not have the program in a directory on the default
               $PATH.
