Bug Description
The form for proposing a branch for merging contains a "Dependent branch:" field, with the caption: "The branch that the source branch branched from. If this is the same as the target branch, then leave this field blank."
When a text (or numeric) field tries to give you instructions on a value that has a special meaning, that usually means a pair of radio buttons need to get involved.
Here, the first radio button would represent the branch that the source branch branched from, and the second would offer the text field for entering a different branch -- similar to how the target branch radio buttons work.

I think I understand the bug, but I definitely don't understand the bug report.
Matthew, could you please attach a mockup? Even a bit of ASCII art would help, I think.
