The remote/origin/ymlsupport means the branch exists in the repo, so it is
local - you just don't have a tracking branch you can make changes on. You can
create your own tracking branch of any of those by doing this:
$ git checkout ymlsupport
Or if your git is older (< 1.6.6?) do this:
$ git checkout -b ymlsupport origin/ymlsupport
This will create a local tracking branch. You can create one for each of them,
if you wish. Or create your own local branch:
$ git branch foo
You use:
$ git checkout <branch>
to switch between your tracking branches.
