Sorry, stupid git questions follow:
why doesn't "git branch" show me this branch ?
I did a git pull now, which said
...
Resolving deltas: 100% (192/192), completed with 62 local objects.

So I tried "git checkout origin/cmake_tng", which told me other weird things:

hammer:~/src/kde-git/kdesupport/phonon$ git checkout origin/cmake_tng
Note: moving to 'origin/cmake_tng' 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 f902a8f... Merge branch 'cmake_tng' of git.kde.org:phonon into 
cmake_tng
hammer:~/src/kde-git/kdesupport/phonon$ 

What do I make out of this ?
