Bug 425236 proposes to add a generic extension to the "new branch" command to allow definition of the base version for the branch to be created.

For the most common case - creating a new local branch based on a remote tracking branch (most often origin/master) - we should provide a button "New branch" beneath all branches listed in the "branches" section of the repository overview to allow creating a new local branch based on a remote tracking branch with a single click.
