Hi, the 'git remote show <remote>' command shows the default branch among other things. The default branch being the branch that a clone will have immediately after cloning. Is it possible to run a command that only shows that default branch for a given remote? Also, I tried finding out whether I can use the .git/refs/remotes/<remote>/HEAD to check the default branch without accessing the remote. However, I find this file is not updated with a git fetch, nor created when missing. So is there a sane way to get the last know default branch without accessing the remote? If so, is there a way to update local information about the default branch of a remote? cheers, Thibault -- 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
