I am trying to create an ebuild that fetches a specific head from a Git 
repo.  As you can see here:

http://lmms.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=lmms/lmms;a=summary

There are several "heads" listed: master, stable-0.4, calf-updates, etc. 
By default, the git eclass uses "master".  I tried putting:

   EGIT_BRANCH="stable-0.4"

in the ebuild.  But this doesn't seem to help; "master" is emerged 
instead of "stable-0.4".

What am I doing wrong?
