-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. git version 1.7.5.4
2. Ubuntu Linux 64 Bits
It looks like the clone succeeded, but the checkout failed. Try executing the following commands from the repository directory:
$ git branch anise/unstable remotes/origin/anise/unstable
Branch anise/unstable set up to track remote branch anise/unstable from origin.
$ git checkout anise/unstable
Switched to branch 'anise/unstable'
The directory should now contain the source files. On Ubuntu I like to use "gitg" to browse the repository and make commits.
Didn't mean to mark it as 'Postponed'.
