+--packfile=<hash>::
+	Instead of a commit id on the command line (which is not expected in
+	this case), 'git http-fetch' fetches the packfile directly at the given
+	URL and uses index-pack to generate corresponding .idx and .keep files.
+	The hash is used to determine the name of the temporary file and is
+	arbitrary. The output of index-pack is printed to stdout.

 --recover::
 	Verify that everything reachable from target is fetched.  Used after
 	an earlier fetch is interrupted.
