The git plugin has a legacy of treating the left hand side of a single slash in a branch spec a little too simply. We try to retain that legacy because we don't want to break existing users.
You might consider trying one of the alternate forms of specifying the branch. Refer to the "?" icon on the right side of that field for examples of other forms which are more precise and don't have the same legacy behavior.
