The magic is "git-ls-remote". In particular, the "--heads" flag limits it
to just showing branch heads.
Then you can feed that into "git fetch", which takes the format
"localname:remotename" to tell it how to fetch.
In other words, something like
git fetch remote $(git ls-remote --heads remote | awk '{print $2":"$2}')
should do what you asked for.
Any chance we could get 'git fetch --heads' ?
FWIW, I regularly blow away and create new heads, so the above is rather
long for people who use my repos. A lot of them use rsync because when
you're tracking a repo with ever-changing branches, 'git pull' doesn't
really approximate "make local X look like remote X".
