I renamed a local branch from MIS-59 to MIS-59_project, and did the following: git branch --set-upstream MIS-59_project origin/MIS-59 git push --set-upstream origin MIS-59_project:MIS-59 However, .git/config is not being honored by git push; I have to supply all the parameters to actually push changes.
