Both "git help push" and "git help pull" will tell you in the "Git URLs" section that a local file path is a way to name a repository. Therefore, you can say "git ls-remote $(pwd)" to list the the refs from the current repository. If you are in git.git directory, "git ls-remote ../git.git" does the same thing, so does "git ls-remote .".

These are merely specializations of more general "git push $path $refspec" and nothing noteworthy.
