Ah! Lovely, thank you, Jeff! Alas, it's a shared server so I'm limited to what the host provides, but that solves my problem. Cheers!

Cloning remote HTTP repository: Can only see 'master' branch
Hello! I've a readonly git repository that I'm hosting via HTTP (a bare git repository located within the appropriate directory on the server). I push to it via my own SSH account (local repository with a remote pointing to the ssh:// URL). This has all worked fine so far - I push via ssh, and others can clone and pull via the HTTP URL. I've recently added a branch - beta - which pushed just fine, but now cloning via the HTTP URL doesn't seem to show the new branch - just master: $ git clone http://server.tld/path/to/repository.git repository Cloning into 'repository'... $ cd repository $ git branch -a * master remotes/origin/HEAD - origin/master remotes/origin/master Cloning via the readwrite ssh URL works fine though: $ git clone ssh://u...@server.tld:www/path/to/repository.git repository Cloning into 'repository'... stdin: is not a tty remote: Counting objects: 225, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (196/196), done. remote: Total 225 (delta 109), reused 77 (delta 25) Receiving objects: 100% (225/225), 9.55 MiB | 295 KiB/s, done. Resolving deltas: 100% (109/109), done. $ cd repository $ git branch -a * master remotes/origin/HEAD - origin/master remotes/origin/beta remotes/origin/master I've tried 'git clone --mirror' just in case, but this just resulted in a bare repository with only the 'master' branch, still. Anyone have any ideas about what I'm doing wrong?
