-------
commit-id::
Either the hash or the filename under [URL]/refs/ to
pull.
-c::
Get the commit objects.
-t::
Get trees associated with the commit objects.
-a::
Get all the objects.
-v::
Report what is downloaded.
-w <filename>::
Writes the commit-id into the filename under $GIT_DIR/refs/<filename> on
the local end after the transfer is complete.

case), 'git-http-fetch' expects lines on stdin in the format
<commit-id>['\t'<filename-as-in--w>]
