Well, noone says this, but obviously one has to step into the "linux-m68k"
directory one first "cloned" to do this... so "cd linux-m68k", and then...
After cloning the repository you first have to create the tracking
m68k-v2.6.29 branch:
$ git checkout -t origin/m68k-v2.6.29
did you test this?
[kolla@haugum] /home/kolla/linux-m68k $ git checkout -t origin/m68k-v2.6.29
fatal: git checkout: --track and --no-track require -b
So after some fumbling...
[kolla@haugum] /home/kolla/linux-m68k $ git checkout -t -b origin/m68k-v2.6.29
Branch origin/m68k-v2.6.29 set up to track local branch refs/heads/master.
Switched to a new branch "origin/m68k-v2.6.29"
Ah, so it created a branch `origin/m68k-v2.6.29' to track the local `master',
while the intention was to create a local `m68k-v2.6.29' branch, to track the
remote `origin/m68k-v2.6.29' branch...
But so what - git tells me I have switched to new branch, but where is it?
`git branch -a' will tell you...
I have not received anything, nor do I have any new files, and...
You don't have to get new files to create a new branch.
Besides, you already got all the files for the `origin/..' branches during the
clone.
[kolla@haugum] /home/kolla/linux-m68k $ git checkout m68k-v2.6.29

Obviously not 2.6.29...
Yeah, this is all `master', i.e. current development...
