+===== Working with the new remote =====
+==== Check out a branch ====
+As long as a branch name is unique across all remotes:
+<code>
+$ git checkout akpm
+Branch 'akpm' set up to track remote branch 'akpm' from 'ln'.
+Switched to a new branch 'akpm'
+$
+</code>
+<code>
+$ git branch -vv
+* akpm   02565b639c3b [ln/akpm] drivers/media/platform/sti/delta/delta-ipc.c: fix read buffer overflow
+  master 610cd4eadec4 [origin/master] Merge branch 'x86-uv-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
+  $
+</code>
+==== Explicitly track a remote branch ====
+If there is a conflict with branch names:
+<code>
+$ git checkout -b lnmaster --track ln/master
+Branch 'lnmaster' set up to track remote branch 'master' from 'ln'.
+Switched to a new branch 'lnmaster'
+$
+</code>
+===== Deleting a remote =====
+<code>
+$ git fsck --no-reflogs
+Checking objects: 100% (6708499/6708499), done.
+Checking connectivity: 6708499, done.
