Why is a branch not displayed in Msysgit?

Question

I have a branch called "develop" in my repository (as confirmed by git branch -a). However, I do not see it in the history view of Msysgit.

Is there something special about this branch that causes it to not show? How can I diagnose/correct this?

Answer 1

A git log --branches would show all the branches, even if your current branch isn't "develop".

Similarly, with gitk (included in msysgit), you can call that GUI with the --branches option.
