Doesn't `git branch -r` show all branches?

git checkout m68k-v2.6.30

That's actually a bad example, as I don't have a v2.6.30 version, due
to spending too
much time in a dial-up country those days :-)
I have m68k-v2.6.28..m68k-v2.6.38, but no .30.

Anyway, plain v2.6.30 should work on Amiga.

If your compiler is called m68k-linux-gnu-gcc, `make ARCH=m68k' should work.
