Trying to fetch Rails2.0, but no luck.  

What I have sorted out so far are the following commands:

- git fetch origin rails2.0
That seems to do something, although 'git branch -r' still only reports
origin/master.

- git checkout -b rails2.0 origin/rails2.0
That fails with the apparently well-known message "fatal: git checkout:
updating paths is incompatible with switching branches. Did you intend...
etc.". 
Adding --track does not help. Doing a 'git pull' first (an advice I found
somewhere) does neither.

What am I doing wrong?  Please note, that I have configured the bare 'git
push'/'git pull' to transmit branch 'master' only. 
I don't have a local Rails2.0 branch yet, which I understand is the proper
way to set it up this way.

Erik.
