Setup: Install the pre-release build of GitHub Pull Requests and Issues.

The performance of opening the Create Pull Request view has been improved (actually, this was done last iteration, so you may not notice the speed up if you have been using the extension for the last month). To verify:

1. Open a folder that contains a GitHub repository.
2. Use the "Create Pull Request" command.
3. Verify that opening the Create Pull Request view is "fast" (should be well under a second).
4. Use the "Cancel" button in the Create view.
5. Run the "Create Pull Request" command again, and be ready to quickly click on the one of the brand or remote drop downs in the view.
6. Quickly click on one of the drop downs in the Create view. You may see that the drop down only contains one entry. This is expected if you're fast enough.
7. Click out of the drop down and then click into again. Verify that the drop down has populated.

To improve the perceived performance of creating a pull request, there's now a progress notification that shows. To verify:

1. Open a folder that contains a GitHub repository.
2. Check out a topic branch and make a commit. Do not push the branch.
3. Use the "Create Pull Request" command.
4. Use the "Create" button in the Create Pull Request view.
5. Verify that a progress notification shows and displays progress for pushing the branch and for creating the pull request.
