This should be mentioned in the 1.5 release notes --- that you won't see a lot of the power the new git unless you create a new repository using git-clone. For example, the man page for git-branch says that "git branch -r" will list remote branches won't print anything if the repository was originally cloned using an older version of git. (I was using the version that shipped with Ubuntu Edgy before I recently upgraded to the bleeding edge "next" branch so I could try out the latest and greatest git features that was being discussed on the mailing list. :-) - Ted
