Hi, all, I'm considering to do a feature patch that is useful for this scenario: $ git remote -v update Updating geko-ceph >From git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sage/ceph-client = [up to date] for-linus -> geko-ceph/for-linus = [up to date] for-next -> geko-ceph/for-next = [up to date] master -> geko-ceph/master = [up to date] rbd -> geko-ceph/rbd = [up to date] unstable -> geko-ceph/unstable Updating newd-ceph >From git://ceph.newdream.net/ceph-client = [up to date] addr_cleanup -> newd-ceph/addr_cleanup = [up to date] auth -> newd-ceph/auth = [up to date] bookkeeper -> newd-ceph/bookkeeper = [up to date] cephdev -> newd-ceph/cephdev = [up to date] for-next -> newd-ceph/for-next = [up to date] master -> newd-ceph/master = [up to date] msgr -> newd-ceph/msgr = [up to date] osd-timeout -> newd-ceph/osd-timeout = [up to date] pgcache -> newd-ceph/pgcache = [up to date] pgcache2 -> newd-ceph/pgcache2 = [up to date] pgcache3 -> newd-ceph/pgcache3 = [up to date] rbd -> newd-ceph/rbd = [up to date] rbd2 -> newd-ceph/rbd2 = [up to date] reconnect -> newd-ceph/reconnect = [up to date] unstable -> newd-ceph/unstable = [up to date] upstream -> newd-ceph/upstream after this kind of remote update, usually we want to know: 1) which remote branch is the latest? (then know which branch is most valuable) 2) the latest commit information of every branch (remote & local) ? I'd like to use "git branch -a --status" to achieve this feature, something like: $ git branch -a --status git branch -a master [%h %an %ad %s] * new33 [%h %an %ad %s] remotes/geko-ceph/for-linus [%h %an %ad %s] remotes/geko-ceph/for-next ... remotes/geko-ceph/master ... remotes/geko-ceph/rbd remotes/geko-ceph/unstable remotes/newd-ceph/addr_cleanup remotes/newd-ceph/auth So now for everyone here, 1) how do you think it's useful? 2) if some current command with some switches has done the goal? (then I don't need to implement it,) 2) if not; which command switch (other than "branch --status") do you prefer? 3) implementation suggestions?
