This may sound dumb, but how do I get that branches data into my 
workdir (without wrecking something)? 

I just tried to do it and decided to give it a break after 20min, because I 
realized that I already am no longer able to predict what a commit and 
push will now do. 

What I already did (aside from googling and reading command options 
on the man pages of pull, fetch and checkout) - I only list the 
commands which seemed to do something: 

$ git branch -a # to see all branhes
$ git branch --track origin/homepage
$ git checkout origin/homepage 
$ git checkout . # to update my workdir

Best wishes, 
Arne
