Show branches list in "git pull from"

[Dozed12]

As requested in #37490

From what I tested and the git output it should be working like before but with the new requested feature so hopefully it's good.

Can you insert this update into 1.19.x version please?

[joaomoreno]

No, it will appear first in 1.20.

And you've regressed it in 1.28.2?

The branch I have created is not in the list, however it is there in Sourcetree.

This is a late comment, I know, but it seems like this functionality isn't working correctly as of 2/2020 -- we have consistently created branches in ADO Git, and we can't see them in VSCode until we either do Git:Fetch (see issue 52571 where that's advised) or we do a $ git pull from the command line.

It seems that pull from only sees the branches that the current local copy of the repo knows about, and the only ways to refresh that list are the Git:Fetch and command line $ git pull options.

It would be nice for pull from to refresh that list first, if possible. If speed is a concern, then some other method of forcing a refresh from the command line would be helpful.

For what it's worth, this preference option
[ ] Fetch all branches when pulling or just the current one
...appears to be broken. It generates the command "git pull -tags" which results in this error:

git pull --tags
Fetching tags only, you probably meant:
git fetch --tags
