Subject: [RFC] git clone add option to track all remote branches
Message-ID: <20180402015035.mzgye6apwn3igch5@HP>

Hi,

I am writing to ask that whether or not you think will be appropriate to add
an option to "git clone" so that whenever a repo is cloned, branches are
created automatically to track corresponding remote branches. (or is there any
equivelant option?)

You can obviously do this by a bash command like this

    git branch -r | grep -v '\->' | while read remote; do git branch --track "${remote#origin/}" "$remote"; done

but it will be better if we can have an option in "git clone".

Regards,
Yubin
