+-q, \--quiet::

+-v, \--verbose::
+	Be verbose.

 -a, \--append::
 	Append ref names and object names of fetched refs to the
 	existing contents of `.git/FETCH_HEAD`.  Without this
 	option old data in `.git/FETCH_HEAD` will be overwritten.
 
+\--upload-pack <upload-pack>::
+	When given, and the repository to fetch from is handled

+	the command to specify non-default path for the command
+	run on the other end.
+
 -f, \--force::
+	When `git-fetch` is used with `<rbranch>:<lbranch>`
+	refspec, it refuses to update the local branch
+	`<lbranch>` unless the remote branch `<rbranch>` it
+	fetches is a descendant of `<lbranch>`.  This option
+	overrides that check.
+
+-n, \--no-tags::
+	By default, `git-fetch` fetches tags that point at
+	objects that are downloaded from the remote repository
+	and stores them locally.  This option disables this
+	automatic tag following.
 
 -t, \--tags::
-	By default, the git core utilities will not fetch and store
-	tags under the same name as the remote repository;  ask it
-	to do so using `--tags`.
+	Most of the tags are fetched automatically as branch
+	heads are downloaded, but tags that do not point at
+	objects reachable from the branch heads that are being
+	tracked will not be fetched by this mechanism.  This
+	flag lets all tags and their associated objects be
+	downloaded.
+
+-k, \--keep::
+	Keep downloaded pack.
 
 -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.
