If you are referring to https://bitbucket.org/petsc/petsc-dev please ignore 
it; that it is an outdated item that should have been removed a long time ago. 
Sorry for the confusion.

   You should start with the git repository https://bitbucket.org/petsc/petsc 
that should have all the branches you need.
