Hi,
I know I can go and look at the config file and get this info but is
there a simple command that shows which local branches are tracking
remote branches? It seems like a very obvious thing to want to know
but I can't find it. 'branch -av' even shows 'n behind' and/or 'n
ahead' but not *what* it is behind or ahead.
Thanks!

The latter info you get with git branch -vv.
But you said you wanted to know which local branches have upstreams. Or
do you want to know which local branches have a specific remote as upstream?

Hi Michael,
Thanks. That's *exactly* what I needed. It's just an extension of my
general rant that while git makes it very easy to create branches it
also makes it very easy to forget why you created them. Or it's easy
for me to forget anyway :-)
