fetching a remote branch??

 

Hello,

    I am using the latest release of dulwich and am fetching a git repo
from github.

I can fetch the repo and access master, view the commit log, etc. However I
need to switch branches but for the life of me can't figure out how :(

I did try:
repo.refs.set_symbolic_ref(branch_name, repo_name) but that throws a
RefFormatError for the branch name.

I also tried repo.refs.get_packed_refs() and it returns an empty list, so I
think I need to perform a fetch_pack()??

Any help on switching branches is appreciated.

Thanks
Michael
