And while at that, it would be great to download and keep the list of the remote branches, perhaps when requested with a special switch. It doesn't mean that all of the branches should be fetched, but it would be nice to have a list of the available remove branches somewhere. As it stands now, this functionality is implemented in git-clone, which it probably not the best place. Users should not be forced to clone the directory again to find out which branches are available. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin - : send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
