Description

This is for Github Copilot App: when creating a session on a local folder that has git repos inside, it asks me to choose the branch for each repo, but it only shows branches that are in the remote repo, I think it should show by the fault the current branch and allow local branches.

Research direction

Start by reproducing session creation on a local folder containing multiple Git repositories, then inspect the branch-selection flow for each repository. Check how remote and current local branches are collected and presented. Done means the current branch is shown by default and local branches can be selected, while existing remote branch choices continue to work.
