Not necessarily. You can say

    git push origin my_branch

and it will be pushed to origin as refs/heads/my_branch.

Also, my quick experiment shows that all these commands create
branches in the origin under refs/heads/:

    git push origin my_branch
    git push origin my_branch:other_branch
    git push origin HEAD:more_branch

Can this be a Git version difference? I’m on 2.6.3.
