I just had like to expose the fact that for the project xfce4-vala (it concens also the other projects) I wasn't able to create a branch named xfce-4.6, creating branches with other names work however. The returned error is something like "non-fast-foward updates are not allowed for xfce stable branches".

$ git push origin origin:refs/heads/xfce-4.6
error: src refspec origin does not match any.
error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://mmassonnet@git.xfce.org/git/bindings/xfce4-vala'
To prevent you from losing history, non-fast-forward updates were rejected.
Merge the remote changes before pushing again.
See 'non-fast forward' section of 'git push --help' for details.

or

$ git branch xfce-4.6
$ git checkout xfce-4.6
$ git push
Total 0 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
Non-fast forward update not allowed for xfce stable branches.
