Yea, this is because my main/master branch is the same as regular
Fabric -- you weren't actually using the alternate branch (see below).

I'm terribly sorry, I gave you bad instructions! (Too used to working
on an already-set-up repository...). You needed to do 'git checkout
origin/execution' instead of just 'git checkout execution'. That
should work (it'll warn you about it not being a local branch but that
shouldn't matter).

Or you can do what Christian just said in his latest email -- that's
how I get my local setup so that I have two "local" branches instead
of just one. Since you're not planning on actually changing the code,
however, doing 'checkout origin/execution' may be quicker :)
