Create new branch doesn't allow publish, and then pushes to existing branch it was created from.

[ritterb82]

• VSCode Version: 1.31.1
• OS Version: MacOS 10.14.3

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create a new branch
2. Notice there is no button to publish the branch

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: YES

When i create a branch, it no longer shows the publish icon. If I click the sync icon, it just syncs the content to the original branch on remote.

I've attached the git OUTPUT, and a video demonstration. I have multiple different GIT projects and it does this on ALL Projects. Even brand new projects I've just cloned.

I just ran into this as well. Here is an example workflow that demonstrates the problem:

1. While working on feature-branch-a, a small bit of work needs to go on its own branch, which should be freshly created off of remote origin's master.
2. In VS Code, Git: Create branch..., enter branch name, choose origin/master

Expected behavior: VS Code creates a new branch, based on origin/master, with no upstream branch set.

Actual behavior: VS Code creates a new branch with origin/master set as the upstream.

3. Commit
4. Push... 💥💥💥 to master instead of the new branch 💥💥💥

(The expected behavior would avoid the workaround of having to check out and pull master before creating the branch.)
