And while at that, it would be great to download and keep the list of
the remote branches, perhaps when requested with a special switch.  It
doesn't mean that all of the branches should be fetched, but it would be
nice to have a list of the available remove branches somewhere.

As it stands now, this functionality is implemented in git-clone, which
it probably not the best place.  Users should not be forced to clone the
directory again to find out which branches are available.
