Ah, so it created a branch `origin/m68k-v2.6.29' to track the local `master',
while the intention was to create a local `m68k-v2.6.29' branch, to track the
remote `origin/m68k-v2.6.29' branch...

You don't have to get new files to create a new branch.
Besides, you already got all the files for the `origin/..' branches during the
clone.
