Description James Blackburn CLA 2011-05-11 17:31:23 EDT 
It seems that you can't change the pull strategy (http://wiki.eclipse.org/EGit/User_Guide#Branch_Creation_Dialog)
 of an existing branch (e.g. master), nor can you configure it during a repo. clone using the File > Import wizard.
Comment 1 Andrew Overholt CLA 2011-05-20 09:52:13 EDT 
I've also noticed that you can't enter branch names with '.' characters in them as the properties dialogue is trying to enforce things such as "branch.<branchname>.<property>".
Comment 2 Tobias Oberlies CLA 2011-07-29 11:04:28 EDT 
There seems to be a general lack of properties dialogs for the different objects in the Git Repositories view. 
The properties view doesn't help if you don't happen to know the key - and it doesn't even show anything for branches.
Comment 3 Robin Stocker CLA 2013-05-20 14:14:28 EDT 
This is possible since 2.0, you can right click on a branch in the Git
Repositories view and select Configure Branch...
