Then the "wontfix" stand; rationale follows.

If you are using debcheckout to get a git repo, you are supposed to
know at least the basics of git. That includes doing "git branch" /
"git branch -r" to inspect the available branch and doing "git
checkout" to the appropriate branch after that.

This is not a problem that should be solved by debcheckout.

Regarding how to do that: see the paragraph above.

Bottom line: debcheckout it is simply not meant to hide the
intricacies of the underlying VCS. It is just meant to be a
standardized way to checkout source packages from their own VCSes.

Cheers.
