You can use git fetch to download the objects, ex:

$ git fetch git://github.com/awilliam/linux-vfio.git next
$ git checkout FETCH_HEAD

Or you could add a remote, ex:

$ git remote add vfio git://github.com/awilliam/linux-vfio.git
$ git remote update vfio
$ git checkout vfio/next

The former might be easier and add a lot less crufty objects to your
local tree if this is a one-off activity.  Thanks,

Alex
