Thanks.

I mean the "Git" menu that Frescobaldi has when run from Git. This lists
all branches that are available in your Frescobaldi repository, even
when you have acquired branches from others' forks (but so far it
doesn't do any fetching for you). Clicking on an item checks out that
branch and offers the option to restart Frescobaldi from that branch.

I thought this would be cool as a way to test branches from pull
requests. Unfortunately I didn't find a proper way to pull stuff from
the server (things break when the user's Git set-up requires manual
interaction, e.g. for passwords).
