[perfmon2] Can't find perfmon3 branch

[Corey J A. <cja...@us...>]

Hi Stephane,

Today I tried getting the perfmon3 branch from git, and was unsuccessful. 
Here are the commands I ran:

% git clone 
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/eranian/linux-2.6

This succeeded, and then I tried:

% git-checkout perfmon3
error: pathspec 'perfmon3' did not match any file(s) known to git.
Did you forget to 'git add'?

But this wasn't a known branch, so then I tried just

git branch -r

and it shows:

abat-js22-2.ltc.austin.ibm.com:corey-55% git branch -r
  origin/HEAD
  origin/master
  origin/perfmon3


So I tried

% git checkout origin/perfmon3
Note: moving to "origin/perfmon3" which isn't a local branch
If you want to create a new branch from this checkout, you may do so
(now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:
  git checkout -b <new_branch_name>
HEAD is now at f738655... perfmon: refresh documentation


I would have expected to get a bunch of different files.  Just to see if 
it was somehow on the right branch anyway, I tried:

% git-branch
* (no branch)
  master

Please pardon my lack of git skills here.  What am I doing wrong?  What's 
the proper sequence to get the perfmon3 branch of code?

Thanks,

- Corey
