That says that the clone suceeded, but the remote repository did not
indicate correctly what the main branch is, and you did not tell git
clone any specific branch.

Just do a checkout of the right branch and you should be set.

  git checkout lkcl-3.3-a20


That worked!!

What I was doing following instructions at http://rhombus-tech.net/allwinner/a20/boot/
which was:

  git checkout -b lkcl-3.3-a20

which didn't work, so I assumed nothing had worked because the first message looked
like an error message and if you google on it, you are led on a wild goose chase
on opinions of what that means and what should be done.

Thanks Henrik
