I've read that tutorial numerous times as well as others at different
sites, but I don't see information there about changing to a different
branch which works. (Randal, thanks for the info about your video,
I'll check google video when I have time this weekend). After doing
the git clone via:
git-checkout gives me an error message about needing to do git-add
first (which doesn't make sense to change branches). Perhaps a log
will reveal my misunderstanding:

~/src/X11 $ cd xserver/
(11:49:44 Fri Nov 02 2007 jeremy@yuffie Power Macintosh)
~/src/X11/xserver $ git checkout xorg-server-1.2-apple
error: pathspec 'xorg-server-1.2-apple' did not match any file(s)
known to git.
Did you forget to 'git add'?
Thanks,
Jeremy

You switch branches using:

others who want to contribute but don't want to spend all day learning
a new poorly documented version control system.
Thanks,
