Excellent; just what I needed.  Thanks!

I ran
    $ git clone https://github.com/ledger/ledger.git
which succeeded, and then
    $ git checkout -b next origin/next
which didn't:
    fatal: A branch named 'next' already exists.

It *looks* like I'm already on the 'next' branch:
    $ git branch
    * next

Is that correct?

Thanks for your patience with these basic questions,

Richard
