Have you tried doing 'git fetch'? That should get and track all new remote
branches automatically.

Once you have a remote branch, if you've deleted the local branch, you can
just do 'git branch LOCAL REMOTE', and that should set up a tracking branch.

If this doesn't work for you, check your git version with 'git --version'.
It works for v1.6.5.2.

Good luck,
Tim.
