Hi Matt,

With master checked out (git checkout master), do the following:

$ git pull
$ git checkout -b <some_name_u_like> origin/org-xhtml-and-org-odt

Now you are on the <some_name_u_like> branch which tracks
origin/org-xhtml-and-org-odt. Now you can compile, experiment whatever.
When you have had enough fun, to get back to master do the following:

$ git checkout master

Any subsequent updates to the branch from Jambunathan will be pulled in
automatically when you do `git pull' in the future. However your local
branch tracking origin/org-xhtml-and-org-odt will not be updated. To do
that do the following:

$ git checkout <some_name_u_like>
$ git pull -f

The `-f' is there to deal with situations when Jambunathan rebases his
branch on top of the latest master (this is common practice for topic
branches).

Hope this helps.
