That's the problematic part, not the install procedure.
'git branch' creates a new branch with the given name, so what you did
was you created a local branch DragonFly_RELEASE_3_2 and then switched
to it, while what you intended to do was to switch to a
remote-tracking branch.
To fix it, you must delete the newly created branch and then switch properly:
git checkout some_other_branch # you can't delete a branch you're
on, for a list of branches you can switch to use 'git branch -a'
git branch -d DragonFly_RELEASE_3_2 # delete it
git fetch # get whatever branches/tags/commits have appeared in
the remote repo
git checkout DragonFly_RELEASE_3_2 # should give some message
about tracking a remote branch, namely origin/DragonFly_RELEASE_3_2
I'm writing this from my head without access to a DragonFly system,
but hope I didn't make any mistakes.
Cheers
Radek
