Which part of the sentence is problematic to you ?
Remote-tracking branches _are_ a copy of the branches. The copy is
made at "git clone" time, and is periodically updated with "git fetch"
later. And it seems to me that "periodically update" is a way to
"maintain" the copy up-to-date.
In the latest version of the patch, I changed "maintain" to "keep",
following Jakub's remark. Is that better?
