I agree, the "+" should be there. I see remote tracking branches as, well, branches that track remote repository - no matter what happens there. Local branches are under user's personal control, so if user wants to save/keep the information of remote branches he can create local ones out of them: git branch localcopy $remote/$branch -- 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
