When I just cloned git using git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git and I type git branch it shows me I have only the 'master' branch in my local repository * master and when I type git branch -a it shows that there's all these branches remotely * master remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master remotes/origin/html remotes/origin/maint remotes/origin/man remotes/origin/master remotes/origin/next remotes/origin/pu remotes/origin/todo What do I have to do to be able to see what's in the 'maint', 'next' and 'todo' branches, for example? And by the way, what are those branches all about? Their names suggests they are maintenance branches (where you keep backward compatibility with an older version?), the next version of git (1.7.4 version?) and future features under implementation (the to-do list?).
