Hi Vinod, I did what you said but the thing is my working directory still contains trunk branch !! what i see for example as branch-1.2 is different from branch-2 . I switch to branch-1.2 like "git checkout remotes/origin/branch-1.2" and it contains for example build ,bin ,conf, lib, source ,logs directories .. but when i switched to branch-2 it still shows trunk . I tried with what you suggested "git checkout -b branch-2 origin/branch-2" .a new branch called branch-2 is added but still contains trunk !!!!
I am wondering why "git checkout remotes/origin/branch-1.2" switched to branch-1.2 but "git checkout remotes/origin/branch-2" not switching to branch-2 !!!! If you try with "git checkout -b branch-2 origin/branch-2" , do you see branch-2 contents in your working directory ?
