You can't just create a new directory and checkout maven into it. You actually have to copy the entire git repository into a maven subdirectory, then checkout the maven branch within that second copy of the repository:
cd ~/dev/OpenNMS-dev cp -R . maven echo maven >> .git/info/exclude cd maven/ ; git checkout -b trunk maven/trunk ; cd .. To avoid future problems, I think I'll update my git tarball to include the subversion externals pre-configured by default...
