You have the arguments in the wrong order:

git branch  

and for that, it doesn't matter what branch is checked out; it'll do what you say. (If you omit the commit argument, it defaults to creating a branch at the same place as the current one.)

If you want to check out the new branch as you create it:

git checkout -b  

with the same behavior if you omit the commit argument.
