+=head1 NAME
+
+public-inbox-fetch - "git fetch" wrapper for v2 inbox mirrors
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+public-inbox-fetch -C INBOX_DIR
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+public-inbox-fetch updates git storage of public-inbox mirrors.
+With v2 inboxes, it allows detection of new epochs and avoids
+unnecessary traffic on old epochs.
+
+public-inbox-fetch does not use nor require any configuration
+files of its own.
+
+It does not run L<public-inbox-index(1)>, making it suitable
+for maintaining git-only backups.
+
+For v2 inboxes, it will maintain C<$INBOX_DIR/manifest.js.gz>
+file to speed up future invocations.
