Partial clone with Git and Mercurial
If I only want to clone one branch, how can I do that?
Does git clone url mean git clone url --all?

Edit 1
In fact my issue is not the same as Clone only one branch, though the answer may be a bit similar ...
By the way, if that link is the solution, how can I get the list of branches before I cloned it from the remote repo? (This issue is not mentioned in that link, and if that link could answer my question, this issue should be pre-solved.)
