About the branches of the nommu in Linux

In this URL:

http://www.alterawiki.com/wiki/linux_sources

"

nios2 Development branch for Nios II Linux, contains support for Nios II with and without mmu (previously known as unstable-nios2mmu)

... ...

test-nios2 do not use - Old stable branch for Nios II without mmu.

"

In that URL:

http://www.alterawiki.com/wiki/downloading_linux_distribution

" To build without an mmu, use the test-nios2 branch on linux-2.6, and the test-nios2 branch on uClinux-dist.

"

===================================================================

--------------------------------------------------------------------

[root@localhost linux-2.6]# git checkout nios2

error: pathspec 'nios2' did not match any file(s) known to git.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Without MMU, which branch should I selected in the linux-2.6 and uClinux-dist folders of the nios2-linux-20100621?

It makes me Crazy ...

    [root@localhost linux-2.6]# git branch

    * nios2mmu

    test-nios2

    ------------------------------

    OMG,there's only 2 branches in the inux-2.6 of the nios2-linux-20100620 tarball.

    R there some branches like: "nios2" and "master"only in the Linux 3 kernel?

    Maybe in the nios2-linux-2012**** tarball?
