Hmm, so I did this:

% cd /repos/git/project
% GIT_DIR=. git branch
  topic

And then, tried it all again:

% cd ..
% rm -rf project
% mkdir project
% cd project
% git --bare clone --shared
% GIT_DIR=. git fetch git://source/public/project

[eh?  No branches??]
% cat HEAD

So, where are my branches? And don't tell me I don't need no steenking branches...
