I don't know what the mock command does...  but if you meant:

	git checkout -f mock-0-6-branch

then you want to add the origin/ prefix to qualify it, as you want
the branch from the origin remote.  That should cause your head to
get detached however:

	git checkout -f origin/mock-0-6-branch

at which point you aren't on any branch at all.  So you might
want to make your own mock-0-6-branch starting at your origin's
current version:

	git checkout -f -b mock-0-6-branch origin/mock-0-6-branch
