What does git do when I click on a local branch that does not exist on the remote server?

Question

I have git vanilla with the default setting, version 1.7.1.

So, I do the following:

git branch local_only
git checkout local_only
git push

local_only does not exist on the remote control.

The team pushtakes a few seconds to complete it, and ultimately tells me "Everything is relevant." I would like to understand what is actually doing pushin this situation:

• If git checks to see if a remote branch exists, why doesn't it return an error? OR

• If git did not check if the remote branch exists or not, why does it take a few seconds and return a success response?

git branch -avv output:

* local_only            ...commit...
master                  ...commit...
remotes/origin/master   ...commit...

You need to click it like this:

git branch local_only
git checkout local_only
git push origin
