I was running into some combination of ssh key related problems and git
ignorance. For the record, here's what I had to do to make it work.
1. Ensure the .git/config within mojarra~git had the correct user.name
and user.email for java.net. I'm not sure if this actually was
significant.
2. Make sure to fetch the 2.2.8 remote branch
3. manually set up local branch 2.2.8-test to track origin/2.2.8
Even so, I'm still not that confident I would be able to reproduce it
again in a fresh environment.
Bottom line, the branches are set up correctly in the git repo.
