Hi, git-gui does not display new tracking branches after adding a remote. Steps to reproduce issue: $ git init test_repo $ cd test_repo $ git commit --allow-empty -m "Initial commit" $ git gui Remote > Add... > Name: "test_remote", Location: ".". Add. (Fetch output: [new branch] master -> test_remote/master. Close.) Branch > Create... . Select "Tracking Branch". Expected result: test_remote/master should be displayed. Actual result: No tracking branches displayed. A workaround is to close and re-open git-gui. The patch below fixes the issue by reloading the tracking branches after adding a remote (see the commit message for more details). It may be a good idea to also reload the tracking branches when removing a remote (something this patch doesn't do). It's not strictly necessary with the way the code is currently written (see the commit message). Regards, Tom Levy -- >8 -- Subject: [PATCH] git-gui: reload tracking branches after adding remote Otherwise newly-fetched tracking branches are not displayed in the revision chooser's Tracking Branch tab ($tracking_branches is not updated, so 'all_tracking_branches' does not return the new branches). The reload is done using 'load_all_remotes', which also reloads $all_remotes and $repo_config, so they don't need to be manually updated any more. When removing remotes, it's not necessary to reload the tracking branches. This is because 'all_tracking_branches' is only called from choose_rev.tcl, which filters out non-existent refs.
