Show advanced by default in new branch dialog
Show advanced options by default. Previously hidden, but doesn't really save screen space and is annoying for users who use this functionality twenty times a day.
What is your usecase? Actually I never used the advanced options
- Right click in the commit list. It should create the branch at that location with that name -> Why do you need to set upstream here?
- New branch from menu -> When setting the startpoint and a name, why do you need the upstream option?
Wouldn't this be better served with a general user setting to enable/disable showing advanced options by default, instead of a hardcoded value?
As a side-note, I suspect right clicking, checking out the upstream branch and creating a local branch from the dialogue that pops up severs the use-case here. From my POV, needing to go in the menu to create a branch specifically targetting an upstream branch is pretty niche.
Use case is for new branches which have been created on github or gitlab. This is a standard workflow, I create around half a dozen branches, often more, each day this way.
New branch is created on gitlab/github. After fetch that new branch is available in the drop down list under advanced. So want this to be expanded. Not a big issue, just a bit annoying you always have to click to get there.
