Description

https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-io/source-repository.html
says:

> Anonymous Access

> The source can be checked out anonymously from Git with this command:

> git clone --branch commons-io-2.6 http://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/commons-io.git

However, when I run that command, I get:

% git clone --branch commons-io-2.6 http://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/commons-io.git
Cloning into 'commons-io'...
warning: redirecting to https://git1-us-west.apache.org/repos/asf/commons-io.git/
fatal: Remote branch commons-io-2.6 not found in upstream origin

The tags include these:

commons-io-2.5
commons-io-2.5-RC1
commons-io-2.5-RC2
commons-io-2.5-RC3
commons-io-2.5-RC4
commons-io-2.6-RC1
commons-io-2.6-RC2
commons-io-2.6-RC3

but there is no tag for commons-io-2.6.
