Description

This is for Github Copilot App: when working on a local folder that has local repos inside, I am presented with a screen to select the branches for each of the repos, but it doesn't show the full name of the repos, in my case the repos have long names and they are trimmed, as all of them have the same prefix then it is not possible for me to know which ones they are

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in the GitHub Copilot App at the /chat path by opening a local folder containing repositories with long, shared-prefix names and reaching the branch-selection screen. Trace the UI that displays the repository names; done means each repository can be identified from its full name while selecting branches.
