OK a question

My initial clone got both master and ptp_5_0 of course. but i was doing it in my ptp_5_0 workspace so i made the default branch 5.0
(I presume most folks would/should use master as the default branch.)

Now i used that clone to import into my 6.0 ws.   It gets ptp_5_0 w/o asking what i want.  That was the default, so that's OK.
Do I then switch to master like this?  
   Team - switch to - Other… and choose Remote Tracking > origin/master ?????

No. One should not use a remote tracking branch for working. It should only be used to viewing code/history.

You should switch by:

- Team->Switch To->New Branch

-  Source ref: refs/remotes/origin/master

- Branch Name: master

- (Make sure that Rebase is selected - it should be if you set autosetuprebase and that checkout is checked)
