In VS2022 Community the Git "new branch" command doesn't work

I've created a project and have put it into a local Git repo. I want to create a new branch called "SetClear", so went through the "Git | new Branch" procedure. But it didn't switch to the new branch and looking at the branch list it's not there. See screenshot "VS Git branches". So I tried again, and was told that the branch already existed. See screenshot "VSGit Failure messaage".

So now I'm in a bind: I can't use the branch, but creating a new one doesn't work either. Any ideas how to get out of it?VSGit Failure messaage

    It seems you have to close VS and re-open it before it notices that the Git branch structue has changed. Not impressed.
