I asked once how to get the lilypond/translation branch on my local 
repository, but
nobody could explain; I tried the code described in

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/contributor/downloading-remote-branches

but git complains with

address@hidden:~/git/lilypond$ git remote add -ft lilypond/translation -m 
lilypond/translation origin git://git.sv.gnu.org/lilypond.git/
fatal: remote origin already exists.

If someone could point me to the right direction I surely will have a 
look at the German translation.

Regards,

Marc
