Thanks a lot for the reply. @Jeenu: Yeah I have cloned it from my friend who has in turned cloned from Android repository. So if I have understood correctly, when I clone git repository if I receive only local branches but not remote branches present in server machine then I have not missed out any thing when I cloned?
Also, I was just wondering as git push origin --tags git pull origin clones all the tags , similarly was there any command to get remote branch.
