It looks like 1.5.2.4 is plenty new enough. I just verified as follow:

	$ git version
	git version 1.5.2.4
	$ git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/cairo
	[snip progress indicators]
	$ cd cairo
	$ git checkout -b 1.4 origin/1.4
	Switched to a new branch "1.4"

I'm guessing the problem is actually that you did the original clone
with an older version of git so it didn't setup the new-style "origin"
remote for you. You could probably get close with:

	$ git remote add origin git.freedesktop.org:/git/cairo
	$ git fetch origin

But if that doesn't work, I'd suggest just doing a new clone.

Good luck! And thanks in advance for all the great improvements that
you will land on the 1.4 branch.
