Hi Rachna,

Git clones the complete repository. You can't exclude or include certain
branches (unlike SVN or P4, for example).

What you need to do is, after cloning, checkout the branch you are
interested in. (Also, you can download a compressed copy of the git repo
from the website and then git pull to update, that might be faster.)

The command to checkout a branch is: git checkout <branchname>
