How to change to a specified branch in Git

I cloned Git by running the following command (as root):

git clone git://github.com/openlink/virtuoso-opensource.git

Then I moved to the version which I want to install by typing:

cd virtuoso-opensource
git checkout -t remotes/origin/develop/7

Then I ran the following commands:

./configure
make
make install

However, after installation I found that the installed package is not develop/7. The installed package is develop/6 (I checked using virtuoso-t -?). How can I fix this problem?

/usr/local/virtuoso-opensource/var/lib/virtuoso/db# virtuoso-t -?

This is the output which I get:

Virtuoso Open Source Edition (multi threaded)
Version 6.1.4.3127-pthreads as of Feb 15 2012

The command that you ran,

git checkout -t remotes/origin/develop/7

will do exactly what you asked. It will create a local branch develop/7 based off of and set up to track the remote branch remotes/origin/develop/7. I'm not sure why the command virtuoso-t -? tells you that the "installed package is develop/6".
