title: Creating new git branch in eclipse
body: <p>Every time I try creating a new branch in eclipse, it creates it based off of the current branch.  I want it to create it based off of the master.</p>
  
  <p>I rt-click my overall project (pal)->team->switchTo->new branch
  Source->select->master</p>
  
  <p>Even though I'm telling it to create it off of master, it always includes the content from the current branch, which isn't always correct.</p>
  
  <p>How do I correct that, other than doing a command-line, git reset --hard HEAD?  I'd like to create the branch off of master without the content from the current branch.</p>
  
  <p>It looks like I'm doing it correctly, based on instructions I've seen.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,
  Mich</p>
