yes (except for the discrepancy between master4 and master8 above), but as I understand things this is only needed after a shallow clone (using --depth).

This code snippet shows a way to make all branches available locally:

import gitrepo = git.Repo('/tmp/g2')repo.git.remote('set-branches','origin','*')repo.git.fetch()branchlist = [i.strip() for i in repo.git.branch('-r').split('\n') if '->' not in i]
