More commonly "v3.10-rc2^0:vhost-next", if you are truly pushing it
out to a remote repository, but then it invites a puzzlement "What
do you plan to do next after pushing? The only reason v3.10-rc2 is
used is because there is not yet a local branch that will host the
vhost-next changes that is built on top of that tag (otherwise you
would be pushing that branch to vhost-next)".
But in this particular case, you are force-pushing into the current
repository, and it is spelled much more commonly
git branch -f vhost-next v3.10-rc2
I would think.
