debcheckout does "git clone" which retrieve all git objects. After that "checkout" in git is just a matter of switching to a repository rather than another. Are you really asking just to do a "git checkout" after git clone? Is that it? If it is not, please explain. If it is that, I'm against fixing it, because anyhow there is no way you will be able to use/understand a git repository without looking at debian/README.source which should describe the branch layout. Hence, automating a thing which would just give the impression of doing the right think it is not something I feel comfortable doing.
