You need to name the local branch, not the remote one:

$ git push origin mybranch

It should then push to remotebranch.

Not only that, but the "ahead of tracked branch" message depends on
your local copy of the remote branch, not the remote copy of the
remote branch.

I think we have long been doing so.  Daniel, correct me.

...and I'm dumb.

I apologize.  "git pull origin mybranch" does not update
origin/mybranch.  "git push origin mybranch" does.

It could be argued that pull should update the local reference too,
but that's irrelevant at the moment.

Have fun,
