How do I create a remote Git branch?

I created a local branch. How do I push it to the remote server?

UPDATE: I have written a simpler answer for Git 2.0 here.

Tangential warning about Egit -- and all JGit-based clients, AFAIK: they don't support .gitattributes! This means if your team uses a mix of Windows(CRLF) and Linux/OSX(LF) you must depend on each client having the right settings at all times. Naturally it's better to manage line endings centrally at the repo or project level, and .gitattributes is the supported way to do this. So, if you don't absolutely have to use Egit... don't! :)
