Let's see...  "git new-workdir" doesn't seem to exist on Debian Stale,
but it's in the contrib directory, so let's give it a go...

address@hidden ~/src]$ sh /usr/share/doc/git/contrib/workdir/git-new-workdir 
emacs 24-emacs
address@hidden ~/src]$ cd 24-emacs/
address@hidden ~/src/24-emacs]$ git checkout emacs-24
Branch emacs-24 set up to track remote branch emacs-24 from origin.
Switched to a new branch 'emacs-24'

<Here I check in a trivial .gitignore fix.>

address@hidden ~/src/24-emacs]$ git push

Yay!  It worked.

Perhaps somebody should put this on the wiki.
