I manage to make a mistake: the default-lpl should be default-lpl-new. So 
the above two sequence of commands are:

   git clone git://hinrg.cs.jhu.edu/git/razvanm/tinyos-2.x.git
   cd tinyos-2.x
   git checkout -b default-lpl-new origin/default-lpl-new

And:

   git fetch git://hinrg.cs.jhu.edu/git/razvanm/tinyos-2.x.git default-lpl-new:refs/remotes/razvanm/default-lpl-new
   git checkout -b default-lpl-new razvanm/default-lpl-new

Sorry for the mistake.
