Altough in a somewhat rarer case, this has the same problem as
"current":

git checkout -b master origin/master
git checkout -b topic master
git push

If a branch called topic already exists on origin, push will now try to
update it with the local branch topic. But they do not have any clear
connection, except for the name.
