+git-unbundle(1)
+================
+
+NAME
+----
+git-unbundle - Unpackage objects and refs to update a disconnected repository
+
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+'git-unbundle' [--bare ] [--force] [--shallow] file
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+Some workflows require that one or more branches of development on one machine
+be replicated on another machine, but the two machines cannot be directly
+connected so the gitlink:git-fetch[1] protocol cannot be used.  This command
+unpacks a bundle file created by gitlink:git-bundle[1] on another repository,
+adding the objects and updating references as defined by the donor repository.
+
+OPTIONS
+-------
+
+--bare::
+	Assume operation in a bare repository.
+
+--force::
+        Normally only fast-forward reference updates are performed. Specifying
+        this option allows non-fast forward updates.
+
+--shallow::
+        Normally, git-fsck is invoked on each reference to assure there are no
+        missing objects. This option bypasses that checking, allowing shallow
+        copies. Use with caution, many git operations are not supported on
+        shallow repositories.
+
+file::
+        Bundle file created by gitlink:git-bundle[1]. Default is bundle.zip.
+
+ERROR CHECKING
+--------------
+
+In addition to the checks mentioned under --force and --shallow above,
+git-unbundle uses gitlink:git-unpack-objects[1] to update objects, and
+gitlink:git-update-ref to update all references, and thus all the inherent
+safety checks provided by those functions are in force.
