Sorry for self-answer noise, but it may help to start using git  :

----------------------------
# start from mainline repository (read-ony), make branch, push change  
from branch to a clone

# initial clone from gitorious :
git clone git://gitorious.org/sputnik/mainline.git
cd mainline
# new branch and go in it
git checkout -b test_versium
# edit file
git add .
git commit -m "first change"

# Clone made on gitoruis named test_versium
# add url in git
git remote add test_versium git at gitorious.org:sputnik/test_versium.git
# push change from branch to master branch of the clone
# git push remote_repro from_local_branch:to_remote_branch
git push test_versium test_versium:master

# Add clone as a branch of copy of mainline
# make local branch and go in it
git checkout -b test_versium
# add url in git here read-ony (can be rw)
git remote add test_versium git://gitorious.org/sputnik/test_versium.git
# take update
# git pull remote_repro from_remote_branch:to_local_branch
git pull test_versium  master:test_versium
---------------------------

Previous command work please validate to later document them.

But I didn't manage to store this in configuration file.
git pull work, but not git push

-----------------------------
# in .git/config
[core]
	repositoryformatversion = 0
	filemode = true
	bare = false
	logallrefupdates = true
[remote "origin"]
	url = git://gitorious.org/sputnik/mainline.git
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
[branch "master"]
	remote = origin
	merge = refs/heads/master
[remote "test_versium"]
	url = git at gitorious.org:sputnik/test_versium.git
	fetch = master:test_versium #not good
[branch "test_versium"]
   remote = test_versium
   merge = master
--------------------------

Please test it so we can clone and branch with no fear.

Bonus to who manage to fix configuration
