          Hi Tom,<br>
          <br>
          Still cant.<br>
          <br>
          ~/u-boot$ git checkout -b lichee-dev origin/lichee-dev<br>
          fatal: git checkout: updating paths is incompatible with
          switching branches.<br>
          Did you intend to checkout 'origin/lichee-dev' which can not
          be resolved as commit?<br>
          <br>
          regards,<br>

    "I believe this occurs when you are trying to checkout a remote
    branch that your local git repo is not aware of yet. Try:<br>
    <br>
    git remote show origin<br>
    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:<br>
    <br>
    git fetch<br>
    Now it should work:<br>
    <br>
    git checkout -b local-name origin/remote-name"<br>
