Uhm, it does here (I don't have a GCC repo, it's another one): $ git branch -r mirror/cpp mirror/exc-handling-alternate-fix mirror/filesystem mirror/ipv6 mirror/magritte mirror/master mirror/omnibrowser mirror/opengl mirror/opengl-nurbs mirror/poll-for-win32 mirror/pool-resolution mirror/roe mirror/sdl mirror/seaside mirror/stable-2.1 mirror/stable-2.2 mirror/stable-2.3 mirror/stable-3.0 origin/HEAD origin/master origin/stable-2.1 origin/stable-2.2 origin/stable-2.3 origin/stable-3.0 stephen/master stephen/pool-resolution stephen/stable-3.0 You can see that it also lists branches for different remotes (with distributed version control you need many of them, maybe one per contributor). Have you tried (after changing the .git/config line for remote.origin.fetch) doing a "git fetch origin" to refresh the list of available branches for the origin remote? If it works now, you probably want to remove the files in .git/refs/remotes/*. Paolo
