FYI: fixed by v1.7.9.2~21^2 (git checkout -b: allow switching out of
an unborn branch, 2012-10-30) upstream.
$ git init empty
Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/empty/.git/
$ cd empty
$ git checkout -b upstream
$ git symbolic-ref HEAD
refs/heads/upstream

Still present.
$ git branch upstream
fatal: Not a valid object name: 'master'.
$ git branch -m upstream
error: refname refs/heads/master not found
fatal: Branch rename failed
Thanks,
Jonathan
