"git fetch" does not work

git@gitorious.org:~porton/texmacs/texmacs-porton.git is my repository containing a clone of the main TeXmacs repository git://gitorious.org/texmacs/texmacs.git with my changes (not accepted to the main repository).

I run the following commands:

$ git clone git@gitorious.org:~porton/texmacs/texmacs-porton.git

$ cd texmacs-porton

$ git fetch --verbose --progress https://git.gitorious.org/texmacs/texmacs.git

The last get fetch outputs nothing and as it seems to me does not create any new branches.

Please help me to merge from the main TeXmacs repository to my own.

Is it a bug of git?

Solution

try

git remote add official git://gitorious.org/texmacs/texmacs.git
git fetch official

git:// is much faster
by giving the remote a name, fetch can create remote branches
