Like Ben, I used git fetch to get the branches that were not yet known by my local repo or my developer fork because I thought that for such a situation you are not merging into anything and so wouldn't use git pull. Rather you just want to get the refs to the new branches so that you can then do a checkout and push to fork on each. But maybe that's just a round-about way of doing the same thing.
