checkout this 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/945654/git-checkout-on-a-remote-branch-does-not-work

"I believe this occurs when you are trying to checkout a remote branch 
that your local git repo is not aware of yet. Try:

git remote show origin
If the remote branch you want to checkout is under "New remote branches" 
and not "Tracked remote branches" then you need to fetch them first:

git fetch
Now it should work:

git checkout -b local-name origin/remote-name"
