Thank you for filling out a Git bug report! Please answer the following questions to help us understand your issue.
What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue) git clone <url> --mirror git --git-dir=<dir> --work-tree=<working directory> branch -r
What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior) Remote-tracking for branches is supposed to be included (and would show up in `git branch -r`)
What happened instead? (Actual behavior) No remote-tracking branches (`git branch -r` is empty)
What's different between what you expected and what actually happened? Should see `origin/HEAD`and so on...but it's still empty
Anything else you want to add: I found the solution here:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38981470/git-clone-create-a-bare-clone-but-with-remote-tracking-branches-for-a-worktre
`git config --local --add remote.origin.fetch "+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*"` seems to do it.
The original value was:
[remote "origin"]
...
fetch = +refs/*:refs/* Running that command added another line:
[remote "origin"]
...
fetch = +refs/*:refs/*
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*Running `git remote update` afterwards gets me the desired remote-tracking.
