# v0 project chats reverting to default branch instead of selected base branch

## Problem
I imported a project from GitHub and selected a branch other than the default. While the initial chat uses the correct branch, subsequent chats revert to the repository's default branch.

## Steps to Reproduce
1. Import a project from GitHub.
2. Select a non-default branch (e.g., `develop` instead of `main`).
3. The first chat correctly uses the `develop` branch.
4. Create a second or subsequent chat for the same project.

## Current Behavior
The base branch for new chats reverts to `main` (the default branch) instead of persisting the selected `develop` branch.

## Expected Behavior
New chats within the same project should respect the branch selection made during the initial import.

This is expected behavior. To create new chats with a specific base branch, you can go to the project page and click the "New Branch" button.
