If a local branch has an associated upstream branch, that's used as the
default when pushing changes. On this case this is not what the OP
wants, because he intends to push changes to a new upstream branch (that
is created the first time he pushes to "origin"), not to
origin/emacs-24.

Using a git front end that implements sane defaults and shows you the
context you are working on (such as Magit) ;-)
