Sorry, I've been droped out, the mailining list change confused my

$ git clone git://oss.sgi.com/xfs/xfs.git
# checking out xfs-dev and making it track the repo:
$ git checkout -b xfs-dev --track origin/xfs-dev
# adding a remote
$ git remote add $name $remoteurl
$ git remote udpate
that will put your remote branches in the $name/$branch namespace.
Anything else ?
