You need "git branch -r" to show remote branches.

xen/master needs to be prepended by the remote name, which defaults to
origin unless you have been doing clever things with "git remote".  Try
"git checkout -b xen/stable origin/xen/stable" to checkout
origin/xen/stable into a local branch called xen/stable.
