Creating a patch messes up local branches and remote tracking

[JChrist]

Steps:

1. create new branch from main
2. make some changes
3. create a new patch

Now the local branch does not have any remote branch tracked, though there exists a remote one with same name in rad. I would expect it to track the patch branch (something like rad/patches/xxxx). Also (and that is the worse), my main branch now tracks the rad patch branch!
