Hi, this did indeed report which remote branch was created from, but it did not report which branch on the remote it was from.

This does work, I just thought there would be an official method that didn't involve messing with the underlying git file system.

What I am looking for is if I branch one of those remotes, how do I tell which remote and remote branch the local branch was created from. I think I found the answer though. There is a command "ls-remote". This appears to show the current checked out local branch's remote URL (not the remote's local name) and the remote branch.
