What I personally do is clone the reference repository "locally" and fork via github. Then on the locally cloned repo I add the fork as a remote
Git remote add perso  git at github.com:joesixpack/hibernate-core.git

That way, I can use the short cut version for simple works and share some branches with others under joesixpack in case I need it. Best of both worlds as I work under the same local repo.
