I'm no git/cogito expert, but the following worked for me to get a test
branch snapshot:

cg-clone rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/aegl/linux-2.6.git#test test

This gets the correct source, but the branch names are misleading to me:

attica$ cg-branch-ls
origin  rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/aegl/linux-2.6.git#test
