Hi,
With this command, you try to checkout a remote branch (origin/xburst)
while creating a local branch (-b xburst) that will track changes from
the remote branch (--track).

This command fails as there is no remote xburst branch. You can see
all branches with :
git branch -a

Maybe you can use the "master" branch (which is the default one and
already checked out) for your tests ?
I can't help you further since I am not familiar with this git
repository, I'm just curious about the nanonote and that's why I'm on
this mailing list.

Still, I hope I answered your question.

Regards,

Christophe.
