Whoa! Git is very weird in some respects.

Why must I clone a repo, giving me the master, then do a git branch
 just to get to some branch?
When I clone a repo, the file list (as viewed with a file manager) shows
 one thing (the master). Then when I git branch to change to some branch, 
 suddenly the file list shows something completely different (now the 
 branch instead of master).

Seems very odd, goes against all normalities of computing -  to have the 
 list of files suddenly change like that.

Why can't I just directly clone some branch I'm looking for?
For that matter, why can't I clone all branches at once like with SVN?
I like to have all branches on my system at once for reference or working
 on several at the same time.

Seems to me novice users (like me, he he) would have a hard time
 figuring out exactly how to get the branch they're looking for.
There are no instructions for doing so on the host pages.

Also, Flo I followed your instructions for transferring the origin,
 as applied to my midi_engine_fixes branch, and now I suspect its 
 git config file is not correct:
I pushed some small changes, and while the github repo did change 
 correctly, I got a denial error saying I was also trying to change master.
I don't recall what my branch's git config file looked like before but 
 here is what it looks like now:
(I'm currently using the recommended HTTPS, later I may go with SSH):

[core]
        repositoryformatversion = 0
        filemode = true
        bare = false
        logallrefupdates = true
[branch "master"]
[branch "midi_engine_fixes"]
[remote "origin"]
        url = https://[email protected]/muse-sequencer/muse.git
        fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*

Somehow I don't think that looks correct.
Because here is what a test clone of our SF git repo looks like - even 
 after I did a 'git branch' to arrive at my midi_engine_fixes branch:

[core]
        repositoryformatversion = 0
        filemode = true
        bare = false
        logallrefupdates = true
[remote "origin"]
        fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
        url = https://[email protected]/p/lmuse/muse
[branch "master"]
        remote = origin
        merge = refs/heads/master

Any suggestions for 'properly' correcting that first git config file?

Thanks.
Tim.
