Hi there,

I really prefer creating branches via the History view by right-clicking a commit and using the "Create branch..." command.
However, whenever a remote-tracking branch points to that commit, the option "Configure upstream for push and pull" is checked by default and I have to remember unchecking it to prevent the new branch from getting linked to that remote branch.
I've forgotten this a few times and then pushed to the wrong branch.

What is the reason why this option is checked by default in this use case (we're not talking about a checkout use case, where the reason is obivous)?

Cheers
Rice

This is done since in order to push a new commit to an upstream branch most git users typically
start a new local branch from this upstream branch's remote tracking branch in their clone in order
to develop this commit.

Hi Matthias,

isn't this the typical "checkout", which has a dedicated context menu entry?
For checkout, I totally agree - this is what you want for a checkout.
But I mean the "Create branch" use case. The same dialog is used in both use cases.
