So I cloned git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeremy/xen.git but

stupid thing am I doing wrong?
You need "git branch -r" to show remote branches.
xen/master needs to be prepended by the remote name, which defaults to
origin unless you have been doing clever things with "git remote". Try
"git checkout -b xen/stable origin/xen/stable" to checkout
origin/xen/stable into a local branch called xen/stable.
if you want to track a remote branch, you probably want:
"git checkout --track origin/xen/stable"
which means you want to create a "xen/stable" local branch that track
the xen/stable branch on the "origin" remote (each time you pull
origin/xen/stable it will merge it automatically in your local
xen/stable branch).
Ian's command only creates a local "xen/stable" at the same reference
that origin/xen/stable is pointing too, but doesn't add the policy about
pull. you can easily add the tracking a-posteriori with:
"git branch --track xen/stable origin/xen/stable"
