Only one branch is retrieved when shallow clone is made in GIT

I'm trying to shrink a big repository to reduce server load. I'm using the command

git clone --depth 1000 url

But when the clone is finished I only have one branch. The branches not cloned are new (3 weeks or so) and the history cloned has 3 months, so those branches has to be inside that history. If I try to search all branches with

git branch -a

only one branch is shown.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Shallow clones default to only getting a single branch. If you want to get all branches, pass --no-single-branch to git clone.
