See the discussion in linkgit:git[1]. +`GIT_NO_LAZY_FETCH`:: + When cloning or fetching from a partial repository (i.e., one + itself cloned with `--filter`), the server-side `upload-pack` + may need to fetch extra objects from its upstream in order to + complete the request. By default, `upload-pack` will refuse to + perform such a lazy fetch, because `git fetch` may run arbitrary + commands specified in configuration and hooks of the source + repository (and `upload-pack` tries to be safe to run even in + untrusted `.git` directories). ++ +This is implemented by having `upload-pack` internally set the +`GIT_NO_LAZY_FETCH` variable to `1`. If you want to override it +(because you are fetching from a partial clone, and you are sure +you trust it), you can explicitly set `GIT_NO_LAZY_FETCH` to +`0`. + SEE ALSO -------- linkgit:gitnamespaces[7] |
