Are you sure?  I ran this on the server, but it should be no different
than using a network transport.

It's because you didn't run the optional "git-remote" steps.
Generically, I should say that git-log runs on local and remote
branches which means anything from the git-branch, git-branch -r,
or git-tag -l.

That command creates a local branch based on the origin/v3-2-unstable
remote branch and checks out the new branch for you.  Git is different
than svn here.  In svn you are checkout out a branch into a directory.
In git you are creating a view of a branch with its own history.

My advice is to drop the svn trunk/branches/tags layout from your
head and think more in terms of views into the repo history.
You can have a single view (checkout) at a time in a given repo.
if you want multiple concurrent checkouts, you can either clone
your local repo multiple times or your can create a super project
and use git-submodule to have the svn branches/ layout.

Working on it.
