It's the git gui I use on Windows, TortoiseGit. Evidently there is a delay updating remote git repository views. I need to check online instead. Sorry for the noise.
By default you only see branches that you have checked out or copied locally. You need to look under remotes/origin to see remote branches, and they are not updated until you do a Fetch/Pull.
So between one fetch/pull and another fetch/pull TortoiseGit will not show a new remote branch anywhere ? OK, thanks for the information. I did not know what it took for TortoiseGit to update its information for a remote repository.
(This is the same with command-line git. It is also possible to configure git to only fetch specific remote branches, but it's harder to do that from TortoiseGit alone so you have to be actively trying to do it, so this is unlikely to be your issue.)
