Branching to desired target path is easy

One would expect that creating a branch is pretty well trodden path today; that's why it was kind of shock to me that there are still people out there, that do not know how to do that efficiently.

The problem is simple – you want to branch folder "$/Project/Ongoing" to "$/Project/Branches/1.1". And here is the wrong way of doing it:

1. Invoke Branch dialog by right-clicking the selected path and selecting "Branch…" menu
   
2. Select the desired destination path for new branch in Target control
   
3. Hit OK to perform branching
   

The problem is, you end up with new branch created at "$/Project/Branches/Ongoing" (as illustrated below).

And since what you actually wanted is not a branched folder named "Ongoing", but one named "1.1", you end up renaming newly created branch. Red light flashing - wrong answer!

Here is the correct walkthrough:

1. Invoke Branch dialog by right-clicking the selected path and selecting "Branch…" menu
   
2. Select the desired destination path for new branch in Target control
   
3. Add desired name for the target branch folder to the specified path in Target ("$/Project/Branches/1.1")
   
4. Hit OK to perform branching
   

And voila! The desired branch folder is created

Since the behavior does not seem to be very intuitive to me (and to some people I know), I thought it is worth blogging about.
