Description Lars Vogel CLA 2016-09-29 08:57:17 EDT 
We should add the option to skip the branch selection (and make this the default).

See https://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/egit-dev/msg04160.html

Thinking about this, I think the best behavior would be to allow the user to start the clone operation on the first page of the clone wizard.

Migration to a new laptop, due to this bug I'm not using the clone repository operation in Eclipse as I always have to wait several seconds for the second wizard page to finally press finish.

Not sure if it makes sense to start the clone operation on the first page, since the destination is specified on the 3rd page.

+1 for the "Skip Branch Selection". I almost never select only a few branches.

I'd say it should be possible to immediately finish on the first page, which just uses the default clone destination with all branches.

The default from page 3 should be used if you finish on the first page.

That's what I meant with "immediately finish on the first page".
