Nearly so ;) There's only one error: you should cd .. before cloning
qt-jambi. In fact, I'd do:

mkdir src
cd src
# clone qt
cd ..
git clone git://gitorious.org/qt-jambi/community-port-to-4_6  qt-jambi
cd qt-jambi
# compile qt-jambi

Also, this is true that you can checkout a remote branch directly
(this is what you do for qt), but you won't be able to git pull later,
you must create a tracking branch before building qt:

git branch -t  4.6 origin/4.6
git checkout 4.6
git pull # shouldn't be necessary right after the clone, but it never hurts

I have also looked at my git guide again. Gosh it's long :( I should
shorten it. The main problem I have right now is I can't seem to
create tables with Markdown. That sucks :/
