Bug description

I'm opening an issue because I followed wiki instructions exactly and they failed.

I'm on git 2.7.0, and git checkout features/websocket-reborn is met with .error: pathspec 'feature/websocket-reborn' did not match any file(s) known to git. I couldn't find how to circumvent this problem, so if there's a simple solution, could we have a note on the wiki instructions?

This seems to be an issue with git version because on another system, with git 2.1.4, the same command wields Already on 'feature/websocket-reborn'. Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/feature/websocket-reborn'.

Steps to reproduce

Just follow the wiki instructions, that is:

git clone https://github.com/JavaJens/TextSecure.git
cd TextSecure
git checkout feature/websocket-reborn

on the one doesn't work, try git checkout "feature/websocket-reborn" it sounds like it might have something to do with shell escaping or something similar

As you point out, this seems like a git issue. I will close this until you find out it our issue, feel free to reopen then.
