I've never used --heads and --tags myself because

git show-branch tags/*
works perfectly well for me, and it often is not very useful to
look at _all_ the heads (tags are even much less interesting) in
a topic heavy repository anyway. IOW, I more often do something
like:
git show-branch --topics master heads/js/*
to see what Johannes has relative to "master".
I actually was thinking about removing these flags, not adding
--remotes, because
git show-branch remotes/origin/*
I agree that tags/* is fairly useless. Way too much data. And if
you want to remote --heads and --tags, then --remotes doesn't have
much place. I was simply poking around and thought that if we have
those two, then the third seemed natural and odd to miss.
However if --all meant all heads, local or remote, I'd be fairly
pleased. heads/* is just as easy as --heads (and leaving it blank is
even easier), but --remotes is significantly easier than "remotes/
origin/* remotes/partner/*". And sometimes I'd really like to know
where all the branches are in relation to each other.
Pardon if this doesn't make much sense. It's been a looooong day...
