From my experience, it works fine doing just

git checkout -b RELEASE-0.12 RELEASE-0.12

The local/ prefix is not needed, and it is less confusing to me to leave it out. The old RELEASE-0.12 branch is already a remote branch, so git will not confuse it with the new branch.

The command above will not create a tracking branch relationship. But that is not needed, git svn rebase works as expected anyway.
