By default git-clone only creates a remote tracking branch for
master or whichever branch is specified with the `-b` option.
Thus you either have to checkout the branch from the remote,
which defaults to "origin", or tell git to setup with the
desired branch right from the beginning using:

    git clone -b "$_gitbranch" "$_gitname" "$_gitroot"

Then additional checkout of $_gitbranch isn't needed.
