Selecting a Base branch is difficult if there are MANY branches.

Unfornunately I probabably can't share a screenshot for confidentiality reasons. (I'm trying to use this on a company-wide monorepo).

But there are some 27,000 remote tracking branches. (Git can handle this fine). But I need to pick a base branch starting with g. So i have to manually scroll past 5114 branches first.

It would be nicer if you search the list for the remote. Idealy drop down lists are only used for a smaller selection. (Not 27,000 items)

git branch -r | wc -l
   27232

@trissylegs thank you for your feedback :-) You're talking about this step, right? I'm wondering how does the app load all these branches. Do you have any performance issues?
