You switch branches using:

git checkout xorg-server-1.2-apple

(note that the dash between git and checkout is optional)

I would recommend reading through the tutorial at:

http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/tutorial.html

So I'm an avid svn and cvs user, and last night, I spent about 2 hours
trying to figure out how to use git.  At this point, I'm not sure if I
was using it incorrectly or freedesktop.org has restrictions on what
anonymous users can do.  I figured out how to clone the master head of
xserver via:

git-clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/xserver.git

but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to switch to the xorg-
server-1.2-apple head.  Could someone please put together a mini 'Hey
dummy, if you just RTFM for 5 more hours, you'll learn to do
_______'.  I know I'd really appreciate it, and I'm sure there are
others who want to contribute but don't want to spend all day learning
a new poorly documented version control system.

Thanks,
Jeremy
