[hibernate-dev] Pleas help with GITHub, how to get new branches into personal fork?

[Steve Ebersole]

Create a remote in the clone of your fork that refers to the upstream 
Hibernate repo:

* git remote add upstream git://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-orm.git

fetch the 4.2 branch into your clone:

* git fetch upstream 4.2:4.2

You can choose to push this to your fork or not.  If so (assuming you 
left that remote named "origin"):

* git push origin 4.2:4.2

Do your work...
