Can no longer create branch when running `Git: Checkout`

[ttftw]

• VSCode Version: Code - Insiders 1.10.0-insider (b2a55bd, 2017-02-24T20:35:46.683Z)
• OS Version: Windows_NT ia32 10.0.14393
• Extensions:

Extension	Author	Version
vscode-eslint	dbaeumer	1.2.6
vscode-icons	robertohuertasm	7.3.0

---

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Click branch in bottom right
2. New window no longer allows to create branch

Here is what it looked like before the insider release:

Now the option is purely branch to checkout:

@bpasero Could we augment the current pick API such that I still get what the user typed? Possibly I should also be able to update the informational message, as the user types.

[bpasero]

@joaomoreno you mean to have API to return what the user typed even if there is no matching pick entry in the list?

[joaomoreno]

Yeah, corrected my typo, sorry!

[bpasero]

Makes sense, I think we can add something to the QuickPickOptions API.

/cc @jrieken on the idea of #21439 (comment)

@joaomoreno You want a combination of quick pick and input box, right? Since the API promises to return one of the items (can be objects) it is tricky to just come up with an item based on invalid user input. This needs thinking...

This seems to be resolved on the build released today.

@Meowbeast we only enabled the new SCM features in the insiders release. Since you seem to be using stable, you are back to the old SCM world.

So how do you make a new branch now, isn’t it possible anymore?

[joaomoreno]

There's a global command Git: Create Branch...
