fwts master location

Hey all -- Quick one, and apologies if this is just my misunderstanding
of git :)

I was working on a few patches over the weekend and initially cloned
from Colin's fwts branch[0], to later notice a newer version of fwts was
uploaded to Precise and found that the source of this master was  under
Keng-yu's branch[1] of fwts.

I took the easy route, generated patches against my clone of Colin's
branch, cloned Keng-yu's, and went about my business ... however  I'm
curious as to how I could I could have better dealt with this?  Is it
possible to force a local clone to point to a new master on the fly?

Also, would it make sense to have the master branch for fwts and
fwts-test under a common user account, perhaps 'hwe' or something
similar or am I just confusing myself with a lack of git-foo :)
