There's any open issue for the CG?  I can't find it..
This paragraph is marked as obsolete:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.15/Documentation/contributor/downloading-remote-branches

So if you want to open an issue, here's a quick and dirty description:

We currently recommend in 3.2.1 to use 'git clone' to download the 
repository.  This command downloads all the remote branches and makes 
the checkout of the master branch.
3.2.4, Downloading individual branch, is obsolete and should be removed.

What we should keep are the instructions on how to start working on a 
new branch, different from master, that is:

git checkout -b branch origin/branch

This means that translators should use:

git checkout translation origin/translation
