You only have a "topic" branch. Hmm, so I did this: % cd /repos/git/project % GIT_DIR=. git branch topic And then, tried it all again: % cd .. % rm -rf project % mkdir project % cd project % git --bare clone --shared % GIT_DIR=. git fetch git://source/public/project warning: no common commits remote: Generating pack... remote: Done counting 1148 objects. remote: Deltifying 1148 objects. remote: 100% (1148/1148) done Unpacking 1148 objects remote: Total 1148, written 1148 (delta 632), reused 1020 (delta 534) 100% (1148/1148) done % GIT_DIR=. git branch [eh? No branches??] % cat HEAD ref: refs/heads/master So, where are my branches? And don't tell me I don't need no steenking branches...
