This should be mentioned in the 1.5 release notes --- that you won't
see a lot of the power the new git unless you create a new repository
using git-clone.  For example, the man page for git-branch says that
"git branch -r" will list remote branches won't print anything if the
repository was originally cloned using an older version of git.  

(I was using the version that shipped with Ubuntu Edgy before I
recently upgraded to the bleeding edge "next" branch so I could try
out the latest and greatest git features that was being discussed on
the mailing list.  :-)
