Show the full branch name (branches with long names) in the Branch restrictions

      Problem Definition

      When setting up a branch restriction for a branch with a long name, the full branch name is not always visible, e.g.:

      There are users who set up multiple branch restrictions for branches with a similar pattern, e.g. client/client_name_version. They don't want the same restrictions on all of them, so they set up multiple restrictions based on the branch name.

      The only difference in a branch name that follows the pattern client/client_name_version is the version part at the end. However, if the branch name is really long, the last part of the branch name indicating the version is not visible in the Branch restrictions page and users can't tell what branch the restriction is for by looking at the list of restrictions.

      A user will need to edit a branch restriction in order to see which branch this restriction is for.

      Suggested Solution

      One option would be to display a tooltip with the full branch name when a user hovers over the branch name.

      Another option would be to make the Branch column resizable so users can adjust it as needed.

      Workaround

      The only workaround at the moment is edit a branch restriction in order to see which branch this restriction is for.
