A plain "git clone" will only give you the master branch of

which is not frozen for translation and does not contain any recent
translations. For any of the subsequent instructions to work, you must be
working in the "f11-tx" branch. So, the full checkout procedure would go
something like:
git clone
git://git.fedorahosted.org/docs/user-guide.git
git branch --track f11-tx origin/f11-tx
git checkout f11-tx
In English this means:
- Create the local git repository from the remote user-guide repository
- Set up a local branch named f11-tx to track the remote branch named f11-tx
- Switch local branches so that you're working in the local f11-tx
repository
Someone with better git skills than me could probably reduce those
commands down into a single line. :)
You can condense the last two steps into one:
git checkout -b --track f11-tx origin/f11-tx
