You must be talking about something else, step 1 is to switch to the
branch you want:

http://help.github.com/pull-requests/#initiating_the_pull_request

The default is to have the request pulled into the master branch of
your forked repository though, which usually is the desired location
(the one fulfilling the pull can first merge it to a separate branch
before finally merging it with master). But if the request is for
Phobos 1 then you would should change the destination branch:
