Hi Ian.


OK, I've tried the bare git commands you mention. Here are my results:

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

humperdinck:~ prince$ git clone --depth 1 git://carpetcode.org/McLachlan
Cloning into 'McLachlan'...
remote: Counting objects: 961, done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (627/627), done.
remote: Total 961 (delta 772), reused 428 (delta 327)
Receiving objects: 100% (961/961), 897.79 KiB | 397 KiB/s, done.
Resolving deltas: 100% (772/772), done.


humperdinck:~ prince$ cd McLachlan/

humperdinck:McLachlan prince$ git checkout --track -b ET_2011_10
origin/ET_2011_10
fatal: git checkout: updating paths is incompatible with switching
branches.
Did you intend to checkout 'origin/ET_2011_10' which can not be resolved
as commit?

humperdinck:McLachlan prince$ git --version
git version 1.7.10.2

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



I note that (a) there are far fewer "objects" in my git checkout (perhaps
this is normal?) than in yours -- 978 vs 3878; (b) my git version is
1.7.10.2, rather than the 1.7.5.4. This is the current result of an
up-to-date MacPorts install of git-core.
