What changed

Cleaned up a few Git action labels that were showing refName / ref instead of branch.

Why

refName seems like just an internal name. In the UI, branch is clearer. (And was the case in an old update

Note

Replace 'ref' with 'branch' in Git quick action UI copy

Updates user-facing strings in the Git actions control to use 'branch' terminology consistently instead of 'ref' or 'refName'. Affected surfaces include progress stage labels, disabled-reason messages, detached HEAD warnings, default-branch confirmation dialogs, and action button labels.

Macroscope summarized 9a7fedc.

- Update dialog titles and descriptions to use "branch"
- Clarify progress messages: "feature ref" → "feature branch"
- Update error messages and hints for consistency
- Change test expectations to match new terminology

Approvability

Verdict: Approved

Purely cosmetic copy changes replacing 'ref'/'refName' with 'branch' in user-facing strings. No logic or runtime behavior changes - just text updates and corresponding test adjustments.

fine for now since the component is still called git but this is probably a regression of introducing the more genercl vcs service in preparation for supporting other vcs systems like JJ (#2461) in the future, but we can tackle that when we get there
