[git-users] does git clone automatically download branch information

2011-10-25 Thread Sialnije
Hi List,

Just started learning git. I noticed that right after running git
clone, the local depo only has history of the master branch. I have
to run git branch -r and for each branch issue the git checkout --
track -b branch ... command.
Is this normal behavior? Is there a command line option to get git to
fetch all the branch history?

Thanks for help.

Yes this is normal behavior in regards to having to use branch -r to list
the remote branches. How ever you should be able to use checkout -b
remotename localname and git. Should auto setup tracking. If not there's a
configuration line that can be added to you. .git/config file. You can
reference the following man pages for complete details: git-checkout and
git-config
