Typically, you'd simply ``git fetch'' (or ``git clone'' a new repository), notice the new `origin/homepage' branch, create a new working branch: ``git checkout -b homepage-work origin/homepage'', work on that branch, transfer the results you want to publish to the `homepage' branch and ``git push'' that one. Does that help? Regards, Thomas
