Does it mean ? a/ git describe origin/HEAD b/ git describe origin/master c/ something else I also played with git remote and did something silly like: $ git remote add bob /tmp/dummy # dummy does not exist $ git remote show bob fatal: '/tmp/toto': unable to chdir or not a git archive fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly ls-remote --heads /tmp/toto: command returned error: 1 Maybe the output could be improved to be more readable.
