This repository was created like this:

% mkdir /repos/git/project
% cd /repos/git/project
% git --bare init-db --shared
[% GIT_DIR=. git fetch git://source/public/project topic:topic]

...but you don't _have_ any such branch. You only have a "topic" branch.

Hmm, so I did this:

% cd /repos/git/project
% GIT_DIR=. git branch
  topic

And then, tried it all again:

% cd ..
% rm -rf project
% mkdir project
% cd project
% git --bare clone --shared
% GIT_DIR=. git fetch git://source/public/project

So, where are my branches?  And don't tell me I don't need no
steenking branches...
