    Description

      **I just experienced this problem twice in a sprint.

      Reproduce:**

      1. in Jira task - select "create branch"
      2. select branch to create from: Repo A
      3. oh no! user made a mistake. User wants to delete branch.
        + new branch is not visible on Jira task, why not?
      

      — user goes to https://bitbucket.org/my_group/my_org/branches/

      — branch is not active because it has no commits, so user selects the "merged" tab

       + this makes no sense - it's a new branch, not a merged branch
      

      — now user deletes the branch

      1. user returns to Jira task and selects "create branch"
      2. select branch to create from: Repo B
      3. user does a lot of work and makes PR to merge to Repo B
      4. Repo B breaks, because the branch was from Repo A, which contains incompatible changes

      This caused great frustration for my team on 2 different tasks.
