I apologize for my ignorance. You can use git fetch to download the objects, ex: $ git fetch git://github.com/awilliam/linux-vfio.git next $ git checkout FETCH_HEAD Or you could add a remote, ex: $ git remote add vfio git://github.com/awilliam/linux-vfio.git $ git remote update vfio $ git checkout vfio/next The former might be easier and add a lot less crufty objects to your local tree if this is a one-off activity.
