The magic is "git-ls-remote". In particular, the "--heads" flag limits it to just showing branch heads.

Then you can feed that into "git fetch", which takes the format "localname:remotename" to tell it how to fetch.

In other words, something like

	git fetch remote $(git ls-remote --heads remote | awk '{print $2":"$2}')

should do what you asked for.

Any chance we could get 'git fetch --heads' ?

FWIW, I regularly blow away and create new heads, so the above is rather long for people who use my repos. A lot of them use rsync because when you're tracking a repo with ever-changing branches, 'git pull' doesn't really approximate "make local X look like remote X".
