Finding only the trunk:

$ git branch
* master

after a "git clone git://git.linuxcnc.org/git/emc2.git emc2-dev", I've
scoured all likely-looking manpages, wikipedia, and installed git-doc,
without yet elucidating why I see only the trunk, when
wiki.linuxcnc.org tells me that command will "list all branches in
repository".

Is it possible that the clone only fetched the trunk, omitting all
branches? But /usr/share/doc/git-doc/tutorial.txt says that clone
creates a new directory "containing a clone of [xxxx]'s repository" i.e.
not just a nominated or default branch.

And yet, the directory ~/emc2-dev/.git/branches is empty.
So "clone" did not in fact clone the repository. Just the trunk.
i.e. It's rather like a CVS checkout of main.

It'll take me more hours to figure out what I need to do to actually
clone the repository, OR otherwise interrogate the original to elicit
available branches, and clone the branch of interest, which is both what
I need, and apparently all that actually comes across.

Any application of the clue-stick would be gratefully received, 'cos the
learning curve is a bit slippery at the bottom.
