Hi Peter.

I'm having some trouble with the new repository.

First, you created it with only the master branch, then I did "git clone ...
--bare" to get a copy.  Which is when I noticed that there were no other
branches or tags.

I use both "git branch -a" or "git branch -r" to list my remote tracking
branches.  I know that "git branch" will not show them.

Then you added the other branches and tags.

Then I did git fetch and still didn't get the branches.  But git fetch
--tags did give me the tags.  (both using --all (all remotes) and naming the
remote explicitly).

I've re-created the remote and checked it's configuration and still I cannot
get it's remote branches.

I finally had some success when I asked github to fork the whole repository
and then I cloned the forked repository.

My remotes are now:

[remote "origin"]
    url = git at github.com:Mercury-Language/mercury.git
    fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
    tagopt = --tags
[remote "github-paul"]
    url = git at github.com:PaulBone/mercury.git
    fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/github-paul/*
    tagopt = --tags

And "git fetch --all" retrieves the remote tracking branches for github-paul
but not for origin.  Have I made a mistake or is there a problem with the
main repository?

Thanks.
