Next thing people would start talking about is what to do with the remote tracking branches, and what we are talking about is rev-list, one of the lower level of plumbing that would be better left without knowing much about the Porcelain's use of refs/ namespaces. If you (as a Porcelain) want to get all refs under refs/heads/, there are (unfortunately) two ways to get that list. I would suggest obtain the refs you want that way, pass them as command line arguments to rev-list. $ git for-each-ref --format='%(refname)' refs/heads $ git show-ref --heads | sed -e 's/^[^ ]* //' - To unsubscribe from this list: 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
