:Gbrowse jumps to branch in local repository, not the master branch in the remote repository.

Hi, few months ago, the command jumped to the master branch in the remote repository, which was good for me since the local change/branch cannot be find in the remote repository. However, in recent days, it changes to "local branch" so I cannot check the unchanged file in remote.

Please switch it back to, or at least allow user to switch it back to remote branch. Specifically
Current jump to url:
https://phabricator.xxx.com/diffusion/O/browse/local_branch_name/path/to/file;local_object_hash

Want to jump to url:
https://phabricator.xxx.com/diffusion/O/browse/master/path/to/file

Thanks.

This has actually always been the behavior (and it mirrors vim-rhubarb):

That being said, I also find this annoying when I'm on a local branch but intending to jump to a master reference.

The considerations:

• We still want this to work for the times when the local (non-master) branch does exist on the remote, such as when working on a shared feature or release branch.
• When browsing a range of lines, they could differ between the local (branched) file and the remote (master), giving an inaccurate result.
