Trunk and release are in different repositories and there exists
commits that are in one repo but not in the other so that operations
on trunk with commit id from release repo should not work.

I use the following setup

        git remote add bb git://git.openwrt.org/14.07/openwrt.git
        git fetch bb
        git checkout -b bb --track bb/master

Then local branch bb will track remote Barrier Breaker repo's master branch.
