Oh, sorry, I did totally read that backwards. So yes, there is a local "master" branch but not a remote master branch (instead it has "localmaster"). So the problem is the same (push without a refspec pushes matching refs, and you don't have any matches) but the fix is, as Adam pointed out:

Sorry for the confusion.
