Hi,

Just to let anybody interested know that "fixes_0.9.28" is now being tracked in the Git mirror as well. I'm using Git's cherry-pick command against trunk to keep the new branch in sync - which also as the benefit that the 'git pull' has even less to download.

There is no need to re-clone the repository. Simply get an update as normal via 'git pull'. After that, you will have a new remote branch "fixes_0.9.28" which you can checkout/track as normal.

Clone URL:
git://github.com/graemeg/lazarus.git

Example commands:
  $ git pull           // gets latest changes and avail. branches
  $ git branch -r      // will show all available remote branches
  $ git checkout -b fixes_0.9.28 origin/fixes_0.9.28

The last command will create and checkout a local branch call "fixes_0.9.28" (you can name it whatever you want) that tracks the remote (origin) fixes_0.9.28 branch.

To switch back to SubVersion's Trunk branch simply do the following.
  $ git checkout upstream

Enjoy!

Regards,
