I have a local repository cloned from a bare remote repository. The following command lists al the remote repository's branches.

$ git ls-remote

74bd3eb190edb39db04f6c0c4dbbb9e1e96bc6db    refs/remotes/test
85de54d6ae813c624b9623983e6b0a4948dae0fe    refs/remotes/trunk

I want to checkout and track that remote's remote branch trunk. How do I do that?
