Xcode 12.1 Source Control not showing all branches

In Xcode I can branch from master and push just fine. The new branch appears in Gitlab as one would expect.

When I use Xcode to clone the repo into a location, it asks me which branch to clone which seems fair. What I am confused about is that I can only see the cloned branch, not the other ones. If someone else (or I on another machine) create a branch, it won't update that addition on the other Xcode.

I know how to navigate branches via git in Terminal but then I don't understand why Xcode has the Branches entry to begin with. I can merge via Terminal but I thought the whole point of Xcode Source Control is to have a UI for visualizing conflicts etc.

Am I missing something or is this working normally for everyone else?

Ok I found it: https://stackoverflow.com/a/54921527/2161301

When you expand Remotes and origin you will find the other branches too. So the "top level" Branches entry seems to be exclusively for local ones.
