Issue created Sep 17, 2020 by Roger Svensson@LtRogers5

Remove default behavior to create a branch when switching to a tag

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. Switch/Checkout to a tag
  2. The option 'Create new Branch' is default checked

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The option Create new Branch should be default unchecked

What version of TortoiseGit and Git are you using? On what operating system?

2.8.0.0 Windows

Please provide any additional information below.

For developers who want to create a branch from a tag, let them make an active choice. Those who just want to switch to a tag and miss to uncheck the box 'create a branch' ends up with a mess of cleaning(remove unwanted branch). For those who want to actually create a branch from a tag and forget to check the box, can correct this in the next step without any harm. For all of us who want to switch to a tag in production environment, there is a risk of unnecessarily cleanup work from the current default behavior. So make sure that the default behavior for the check box is not checked.

Thanks \Roger
