Why there's no `git flow hotfix fetch`?

Working with a geographically dispersed dev team from time to time happens that a colleague prepares a git flow hotfix and publishes it for review (or because he has no grants to finish it).

When I git pull the repo I cannot fetch the hotfix in a proper way: the branch is present in the local repo but it isn't marked as an hotfix.

How can I execute correctly this work-flow?

Riccardo:

$ git pull
$ git flow hotfix start myhotfix
...
$ git commit -m "Fixed!" -a
$ git flow hotfix publish

Luca:

$ git pull
$ git flow hotfix
No hotfix branches exist.

The workflow is:

Riccardo:

$ git pull
$ git flow hotfix start myhotfix
...
$ git commit -m "Fixed!" -a
$ git flow hotfix publish

Luca:

$ git pull
$ git flow hotfix
No hotfix branches exist.
$ git checkout hotfix/myhotfix
$ git flow hotfix
* myhotfix
$ git flow hotfix finish
