Now, your local branch sf will automatically push to and pull from

That has never been the case by default. Push has always defaulted to
pushing all matching branches (so of course if you use the same name,
it
will end up pushing to the tracking branch). However, you can do:

git config --global push.default tracking

to explicitly change the default to push the current branch to its
upstream. See the entry for "push.default" in "git help config".

Thanks for the clarification!
