How to display available branches in Android source tree?

Question

Following directions on Android's main website to pull down sources, I'm looking at this command to initialize repo for the cupcake branch:

repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git -b cupcake

How can I view all available branches besides cupcake, i.e eclair, donut, etc...?

Answer 1

It doesn't seem to be possible using the "repo" script, but you can query the list of available branches using git:

$ git clone git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git
$ cd manifest
$ git branch -r
