+===============
+
+NAME
+----
+git-unbundle - Unpackage objects and refs
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+'git-unbundle' [--force] 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
+-------
+
+--force::
+        Normally only fast-forward reference updates are performed.
+        Specifying this option allows non-fast forward updates.
+
+file::
+        Bundle file created by gitlink:git-bundle[1]. Default is
+        bundle.tar.
+
+ERROR CHECKING
+--------------
+
+In addition to the checks mentioned under --force above, the bundle
+includes a list of prerequisite commits needed. If any prerequisite is
+not present, git-unbundle stops. The repository is updated using
+gitlink:git-index-pack[1] and gitlink:git-update-ref[1] which assure
+that the pack is readable and that references are updated correctly.
