Simple question:
If I'm doing a code review and go to http://drupal.org/sandbox/chhavik/1379612 for instance. The repository viewer has changed and I no longer find it as intuitive. So I follow the directions on http://drupal.org/sandbox/chhavik/1379612 and do: git clone http://git.drupal.org/sandbox/chhavik/1379612.git linkedin_group_posts but then can just see the master branch. That seems normal, but then I do git branch and I can only see *master
My question is, does this mean I don't know what I'm doing and there is no 7.x-1.x branch? I should be able to just do git checkout 7.x-1.x correct? git branch doesn't even show the 7.x-1.x branch.
Why can't I see the applicants other branch. Is it their error or mine? I see on this repository summary viewer: http://drupalcode.org/sandbox/chhavik/1379612.git there are 2 heads and one is 7.x-1.x What's the trick? Should the directions on http://drupal.org/sandbox/chhavik/1379612 be updated to help confused folks like me or is the applicant's sandbox messed up?
Thanks for your help.

Use the 'version control'
Use the 'version control' link on the project page, select the version you want, and use the instructions from that page ... The text on the project page itself is whatever the maintainer put there, so it could be wrong or contain typos.
problem resolved itself
now when I go to this user's project it's showing the correct git instructions: git clone --branch 7.x-1.x http://git.drupal.org/sandbox/chhavik/1379612.git linkedin_group_posts
Maybe there was an update to the drupal git repository.
I'm able to review again, so this is all set.
I don't think the new webgit
I don't think the new webgit is not as intuitive as the old one, it's just a new look and feel you have to get used to
try this to show all branches:
git branch -aThen, to checkout one of the
Then, to checkout one of the branches you see, like 7.x-1.x:
git checkout -t origin/7.x-1.x
This will create a local 7.x-1.x branch attached to the remote one.
