The set of branches that git fetches is configured by the fetch "refspec" in your config file. It usually looks like this: $ git config remote.origin.fetch +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* But you can specify a specific list of branches you want to fetch instead: $ git config --unset remote.origin.fetch $ for i in master other-branch; do git config --add remote.origin.fetch \ +refs/heads/$i:refs/remotes/origin/$i done However, you do have to specify each branch individually. You probably want to say "all branches except X", and you cannot currently specify a negative refspec like that. -Peff -- 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
