getting old branches/releases
Howdy!
I'm trying to get the 3.3 and 3.4 branches so I can check my libraries compatibility with older versions, but I do not see those branches as being available:
$ git branch --remote 89 remotes/upstream/2.7 remotes/upstream/3.5 remotes/upstream/3.6 remotes/upstream/3.7 remotes/upstream/3.8 remotes/upstream/buildbot-custom remotes/upstream/master
How can I get those?

3.3 and 3.4 existed before the migration from GitHub, so we don't have the branches.
They are in the repo as git tags.
Try:
# list all git tags matching v.3.3 git tag -l 'v3.3*'
# checkout the v.3.3.0 tag to a local branch git checkout tags/v.3.3.0 -b my-own-3.3.0-branch

Nice! Many thanks!

Great! Perhaps we should have this info in devguide. https://github.com/python/devguide/issues/572 Welcoming PR.

It's a bit simpler than that. You don't need to specify tags/ when referencing tags.
git checkout v3.3.7 # for final 3.3 release (in detached HEAD mode)
git checkout v3.3.7 -b v3.3.7 # to also create a local branch
git checkout 3.3 -b 3.3 # for the final state of the 3.3 branch

I remember a few years ago the older Git branches were changed to tags, to get rid of them from Git Hub's list of branches I think. Maybe these tags are what you are after (note there is no v prefix):
