Now the same for fetch: $ cd tmpgit2 $ git fetch -v -v -v From https://github.com/gitster/git = [up to date] master -> origin/master = [up to date] ab/hooks -> origin/ab/hooks = [up to date] ad/bisect-cleanup -> origin/ad/bisect-cleanup = [up to date] ad/bisect-terms -> origin/ad/bisect-terms ... [a lot more wants, cut] It is missing the want lines completely. I guess that is not that intentional, but rather we forgot to add the verbosity option correctly to the fetch in the transport layer. Looking at the transport code, I am confused on both how the wants are printed in the clone case as well as how they are not printed in the fetch case. Any hints? (I could use GIT_TRACE_PACKET as a work around, but it's just a hack.)
