The right syntax would be to use, instead:
	git request-pull git://linuxtv.org/pinchartl/media.git uvcvideo/next

No problem. Git request-pull would automatically detect the remote branch
that has the changeset associated with the local branch that you're 
requesting to pull. It probably uses the push config at your .git/config.

The names I use on my local repository also don't match the ones at the
public repository.

Yeah, you could force it, but no need if your .git/config has already a
push line like the above.
