From: Derrick Stolee via GitGitGadget Date: Sat, 10 Apr 2021 02:03:45 GMT Subject: [PATCH v3 3/3] maintenance: use 'git fetch --prefetch' Message-ID: In-Reply-To: From: Derrick Stolee The 'prefetch' maintenance task previously forced the following refspec for each remote: +refs/heads/*:refs/prefetch//* If a user has specified a more strict refspec for the remote, then this prefetch task downloads more objects than necessary. The previous change introduced the '--prefetch' option to 'git fetch' which manipulates the remote's refspec to place all resulting refs into refs/prefetch/, with further partitioning based on the destinations of those refspecs. Update the documentation to be more generic about the destination refs. Do not mention custom refspecs explicitly, as that does not need to be highlighted in this documentation. The important part of placing refs in refs/prefetch/ remains.
