And even then, your answer is great. Thanks!

I was half-expecting a mechanism to track "all branches/heads from a remote repo" by rsync'ing the refs/heads directory outside of the git protocol. That's perhaps why I had the wrong mindset.

All in all, it is a bit of a roundabout way of tracking things.
