You already have that "branch": it is your local repo :-) Nobody forces
you to push your changes before you are ready to do a build. And you can
use remote branches as well; you just need to pass --dist XY to fedpkg
for all operations, as it will not be able to recognize the release from
your branch name. E.g.:

git checkout -b f20-devel
git push origin f20-devel:f20-devel
# ... changes ...
fedpkg --dist f20 local
# ... check it builds ...
git commit -am '...'
git push
