This is intentional. The git smart server protocol (git+ssh://, git://)
basically only allows you to upload revisions or fetch revisions. It
does not allow you to inspect the contents of the remote repository in
the same way that Bazaar does - Bazaar has gone through great lengths to
support all operations that can be done on local repositories on remote
repositories as well (and with reasonable performance). 

Cheers,
