 SYNOPSIS
 --------
-'git-send-pack' [--all] [--force] [--exec=<git-receive-pack>] [<host>:]<directory> [<ref>...]
+'git-send-pack' [--all] [--dry-run] [--force] [--receive-pack=<git-receive-pack>] [--verbose] [--thin] [<host>:]<directory> [<ref>...]
 
 DESCRIPTION
 -----------
+Usually you would want to use gitlink:git-push[1] which is a
+higher level wrapper of this command instead.
+
 Invokes 'git-receive-pack' on a possibly remote repository, and
 updates it from the current repository, sending named refs.
 
 
 OPTIONS
 -------
---exec=<git-receive-pack>::
+\--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.
 
---all::
+\--exec=<git-receive-pack>::
+       Same as \--receive-pack=<git-receive-pack>.
+
+\--all::
        Instead of explicitly specifying which refs to update,
-       update all refs that locally exist.
+       update all heads that locally exist.
+
+\--dry-run::
+       Do everything except actually send the updates.
 
---force::
+\--force::
        Usually, the command refuses to update a remote ref that
        is not an ancestor of the local ref used to overwrite it.
        This flag disables the check.  What this means is that
        the remote repository can lose commits; use it with
        care.
 
+\--verbose::
+       Run verbosely.
+
+\--thin::
+       Spend extra cycles to minimize the number of objects to be sent.
+       Use it on slower connection.
