When you first check out the repository, "git checkout maint" should give you an error, because the maint branch doesn't exist locally. "git-checkout -b maint" will, perhaps confusingly, create a local maint branch that starts at the current branch head, probably master's, not at the head of the remote branch origin/maint. I'll see about starting a Wiki page with some pointers to git resources.
