Concerning the "-p" flag to mkdir, it was in order do create the
directory at once (I mean with the full depth in one pass).  Otherwise,
I get a "mkdir: ne peut créer le répertoire `.git/remotes/zut':Aucun
fichier ou répertoire de ce type"

So I did, in a brand new clean and empty directory:
==============
mkdir Sources
cd Sources/
git init-db
mkdir .git/remotes
emacs .git/remotes/trans&
   filled with:
    URL: git://git.sv.gnu.org/lilypond.git/
    Pull: lilypond/translation:refs/remotes/origin/lilypond/translation

emacs .git/remotes/master&
   filled with:
    URL: git://git.sv.gnu.org/lilypond.git/
    Pull: master:refs/remotes/origin/master

emacs .git/remotes/tki2html&
   filled with:
    URL: git://git.sv.gnu.org/lilypond.git/
    Pull: dev/texi2html:refs/remotes/origin/dev/texi2html

git fetch trans
git checkout -b lilypond/translation origin/lilypond/translation
git fetch master
git checkout -b master origin/master
git fetch tki2html
git checkout -b dev/texi2html origin/dev/texi2html
===================

and it works perfectly:  I can see everything, switch to or pull the 
branch I want with gitview without any pb.

There was obviously some pollution anywhere...
