pub fn fetch(

gctx: &GlobalContext,
remote_kind: RemoteKind,
) -> CargoResult<()>
Expand description
Attempts to fetch the given git reference
for a Git repository.
This is the main entry for git clone/fetch. It does the followings:
- Turns
GitReference
into refspecs accordingly. - Dispatches
git fetch
using libgit2, gitoxide, or git CLI.
The remote_url
argument is the git remote URL where we want to fetch from.
The remote_kind
argument is a thing for -Zgitoxide
shallow clones
at this time. It could be extended when libgit2 supports shallow clones.
