Hi Pavel, You can get a list of the remote branches whenever you want: $ git ls-remote -h <remote> So, to see available branches in the repo from which you initially cloned: $ git ls-remote -h origin Or to see which branches are available in the official cogito repo, without ever cloning it: $ git ls-remote -h git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/cogito/cogito.git HTH, Sean - : 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
