change remote to track new branch

[Daniel Convissor <danielc@analysisandsolutions.com>]

Hi:

Long ago I added a remote to my repo.  It is set to track what was then
WordPress' main release branch (3.4-branch) and created a local branch
to use it.  Well, time marches on.  I want to update my remote and
branch to track the new main release branch (3.6-branch).

Here's how I set things up at the time:

git remote add -t 3.4-branch -f wp https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress
git checkout -b wp wp/3.4-branch

I've tried various fetch, remote and branch commands to effectuate this
change, to no avail.  I get messages like "Not a valid ref."

I know a major part of this is that my repo only knows of one remote
branch (of the many that exist).  What I don't know are the commands
needed to fetch the right remote branch, set my remote and local branch
to track it.  Your help will be appreciated, please.

Here's some information on the current state of things:

git branch -av
  dev                                 a18677e [ahead 153] backup of 3.4 db

  Local branch configured for 'git pull':

  Local ref configured for 'git push':

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Thanks,
