Gitk - Seeing just a specific remote ?

Gitk - Seeing just a specific remote ?

[Aneesh Bhasin]

Hi All,

I have a git repository (say, new_develop) in which a remote
repository (say old_develop) is also there of some older work with the
associated remote branches. Is there a way to see all  the branches of
only this remote older_develop repository graphically in gitk -
something that shows me the same thing that doing a 'gitk --all' would
have shown had I done it from the older_develop repository itself ? If
I say 'gitk --all' (in new_develop) it shows me all the branches
(local as well as remote). Specifying 'gitk --remotes' also shows all
the remote branches (not just from the old_develop remote repo) ? Is
there some other way that I am missing ? I have seen the man page of
git-rev-list too but there doesn't sem to be a way to do it.

Regards,
Aneesh

gitk has an option, --argscmd, that you can use:

  gitk --argscmd="git for-each-ref --format='%(refname)'
refs/remotes/old_develop/*"

Thanks. That was exactly what I was looking for.
