 -u, \--update-head-ok::
        By default `git-fetch` refuses to update the head which
        corresponds to the current branch.  This flag disables the
-       check.  Note that fetching into the current branch will not
-       update the index and working directory, so use it with care.
+       check.  This is purely for the internal use for `git-pull`
+       to communicate with `git-fetch`, and unless you are
+       implementing your own Porcelain you are not supposed to
+       use it.

+\--depth=<depth>::

+       `git clone` with `--depth=<depth>` option (see gitlink:git-clone[1])
+       by the specified number of commits.
