Here is my next git question (possibly another dumb one) :-)

When I did a git pull in simgear/flightgear this morning I saw something
like the following:

simgear$ git pull
remote: Counting objects: 1, done.
remote: Total 1 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
Unpacking objects: 100% (1/1), done.
>From gitorious.org:fg/simgear
 * [new branch]      releases/2.2.0 -> origin/releases/2.2.0
 * [new tag]         2.2.0-rc1  -> 2.2.0-rc1
Already up-to-date.


Ok, cool I think, it looks like the 2.2.0 release branch has been created.

But my question is how can I switch to this new branch?  When I list my
branches I see:

simgear$ git branch
  maint
* next


The new branch is not listed.  Does this branch only exist on the server?
 What do I have to do to see the branch locally?  Do I have to manually copy
any remote branch that I want to work with locally?  What's the git thought
process and reasoning here?  How would a person typically know that a new
remote branch got created and be able to access it?  Why doesn't the new
branch automatically show up in my list of branches?

Thanks,

Curt.
