(EGit 0.11) Most team providers have some kind of 'switch to...' which can be used to move between branches. Git's use of the word 'checkout' to mean 'switch branch' is confusing to some, and may not expect to find it in the 'branch' menu in the first place (since that implies creating a branch). What if we were to have a switch to... menu that populated the list of available branches in the next menu, with a final option to launch the branch menu? Something like: Team -> Switch To ... -> master,egit-0.11,egit-0.10,egit-0.09...,Other That would permit a fast switch back-and-forth between branches just by navigating menus. If the branch wasn't present (or a new one was required) then we could finsih off the list with a group-separator and 'other' which would bring up the branch dialog, which would of course continue to exist under its own menu.
I like this feature... http://egit.eclipse.org/r/#change,2503
