Problems with basic usage of saltstack apache-formula

I'm new to Saltstack and I'm just trying to do some simple installs on a subset of minions. I want to include Environments so I have my file roots as:

file_roots:
   base:
     - /srv/salt/base
   dev:
     - /srv/salt/dev
   qa:
     - /srv/salt/qa
   stage:
     - /srv/salt/stage
   prod:
     - /srv/salt/prod

I set up the git backend:

fileserver_backend:
  - git
  - roots

I'm using gitfs set as:

gitfs_remotes:
  - https://github.com/saltstack-formulas/postgres-formula
  - https://github.com/saltstack-formulas/apache-formula
  - https://github.com/saltstack-formulas/memcached-formula
  - https://github.com/saltstack-formulas/redis-formula

So I have the master set up and I add top.sls to /srv/salt/stage with

include:
   - apache
stage:
   'stage01*':
      - apache

But I get an error when I execute 

salt -l debug \* state.highstate test=True

Error

stage01.example.net:
Data failed to compile:
----------
No matching sls found for 'apache' in env 'stage'

I've tried many ways and the master just can't seem to find the apache formula I configured for it.

I found the answer and it was sitting in the Saltstack docs the whole time.

  1. First you will need to fork the current repository such as postgres-formula.
  2. Depending on the environment create a branch of the same name in your newly create fork of the repo.

So for example I wanted to use postgres in my stage environment. So it wouldn't work until I created a branch named stage ined my forked repo of postgres-formula then it worked like a charm.
