I don't see this behavior, but I do see other wierdness cloning via http. Anytime I clone a repo (any repo) via http from behind the firewall/proxy at work I never get any branches. 'git branch' only ever shows 'master'. I can't checkout and work on any other branch. I can work around the problem by cloning on a box that is more open, but was wondering if anyone knows how to fix this.
