Should "new branch" button route user to repo page?

Currently the "new branch" button after being clicked routes to a new screen which is the repository view with that newly created branch as active.

Question

Is this a good flow?

Problem

Most of the time i do not want to be linked through, however perhaps other people are.. I want to find out with this issue.

Proposal

We already create a system message with the new branch, can't we jump the page to that system message? And perhaps make it really apparent for a short amount of time?
