Except that once I designate a remote branch `origin', I
need to name the other branch something else?  My
understanding is hazy, but from the build directory of my
`master' repo, adding the lilypond/translation branch as in
CG 1.1.4 returns `fatal: remote origin already exists.'  The
whole procedure in context follows below; what's the right
way to do it?

Thanks

$ mkdir lilypond; cd lilypond

$ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/owner/lilypond/

$ git remote add -ft master -m master origin \
  git://git.sv.gnu.org/lilypond.git/
Updating origin...
etc.

$ git checkout -b master origin/master

Already on 'master'

$ git remote add -ft lilypond/translation -m \
  lilypond/translation origin \
  git://git.sv.gnu.org/lilypond.git/
fatal: remote origin already exists.
