You don't need to have a particular commit checked out before you can branch from it. SourceTree will give you the option to check it out as part of creating the branch.
You should probably leave origin/master (the server's master) as it is.
To create the branch as you want it:
You must be a registered user to add a comment. If you've already registered, sign in. Otherwise, register and sign in.
