Description Susan McCourt CLA 2011-06-07 19:01:56 EDT
I just pushed a branch to a remote repo for the first time so that Simon could review a bug for me.  I was using the command line due to problems I was having earlier with the Orion UI, and because I needed to work in eclipse for global search/replace.  So...I pushed the branch and used

"git branch -a" 

on the command line to verify that it all worked.  Cool.

Then I went to the git repo page to verify that my new remote branch shows up there.  It doesn't.  

I will attach a snapshot that shows the output from the command line vs. the output from the git repo page.

i'm a dummy, I had not pulled so of course I didn't see any newly created branches.  Is there a way to just pull tags/branches?  So that when git-clone page got reloaded, or else when the remotes branch list was expanded, we got current data?
Comment 3 Susan McCourt CLA 2011-06-07 23:43:56 EDT
although I'm still not sure why the command line was showing me more.  Maybe the way we are fetching branches is different than git branch -a

After doing "Fetch" on a selected remote all branches and tags should be in place. The list under {cloneName}/Remote/{remoteName}/ should be the same as the result of "git branch -r", which displays the remote-tracking branches.

I've just checked it again and it works fine for me. If this is still reproducible for you, feel free to reopen but please provide the exact steps you used to produce the problem and/or attach your clone.
