I tried checking out an existing branch from our git repository (hosted in Bitbucket running on our server), and the checkout succeeded, but SourceTree-Beta didn’t update the branch list. That is: it did not add the branch to the list of local branches, and it also did not change the bold highlighting indicating the current branch.

This only happened once; upon trying to repeat, the branch list now shows both freshly-checked-out branches and the bold highlighting indicates the correct branch.

Steps that produced the problem:

• From an active JIRA issue, create a branch. This should take you to the Source view in Bitbucket.
• Click the ellipsis (“…”) button next to the branch name. Choose “Check out in SourceTree”.
• The “Checkout [sic] Existing” dialog appears. Click “Checkout [sic]“.
• The transcript of the git command confirms that the checkout succeeded, but the branch list does not update.
