    Has the branch changed or the project?
    If its just then branch then you would just checkout the new branch name?

    That just lists the remote branch.

    If you're talking about tracking a new remote branch to an existing one with the "old" name, you can track a new remote branch using

    git branch -u remote_name/branch_name

    Also, git branch help lists this stuff!
