Ah, no need to do that. And looking over the docs, I don't think it is
doing what you want it to do. If I understand it right this command
makes issue-XXXX a synonym for origin or something, but not a branch:

git-remote add [-t <branch>] [-m <master>] [-f] [--mirror] <name> <url>
"Adds a remote named <name> for the repository at <url>. The command
git fetch <name> can then be used to create and update remote-tracking
branches <name>/<branch>."

My branching command is

git checkout -b branch_name

aka

git branch branch_name
git checkout branch_name
