Following an extenal repo, I am not getting all the heads. This is by
design, AFAIK, and the question is how do I find what heads the repo
offers and pull them in so I can call them by name?
I suspect the Subject: line and your question do not mesh well,
but anyway..
And even then, your answer is great. Thanks!
I was half-expecting a mechanism to track "all branches/heads from a
remote repo" by rsync'ing the refs/heads directory outside of the git
protocol. That's perhaps why I had the wrong mindset.
All in all, it is a bit of a roundabout way of tracking things.
