## Message

```
git: Add option to branch from default branch in branch picker (#34663)

Closes #33700

The option shows up as an icon that appears on entries that would create
a new branch. You can also branch from the default by secondary
confirming, which the icon has a tooltip for as well.

We based the default branch on the results from this command: `git
symbolic-ref refs/remotes/upstream/HEAD` and fallback to `git
symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD`

Release Notes:

- Add option to create a branch from a default branch in git branch
picker
