Ot, at least, get > the full list of branches existing in the remote repository... 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. Linus
