Unfortunately for you, it seems you're the first person who clone with git 1.5.x :-) > $ git clone \ > git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/util-linux-ng/util-linux-ng.git \ > util-linux-ng right > $ cd util-linux-ng right > $ git checkout -f devel wrong :-( The git 1.5.x uses namespaces for branches and all remote branches are in the origin/ namespace. See: $ git branch -r origin/HEAD origin/devel origin/master You can directly use "origin/devel" or (as expected by GIT developers) create your local copy of the branch: $ git checkout -f -b my_devel origin/devel I think (I didn't test it) you can also set everything in the .git/config if you want to map remote branches to your local branches. See also "git remote". I'm going to update the web page add there note about git 1.5.x. Thanks!
