Please let the middle top "box", containing the currently open repository name be wider #2040

The "box" in the middle top (as part of the Toolbar), which contains the name of the currently open repository name, amongst other things currently has a fixed width, which is rather narrow, leaving a bunch of unused space, especially on ultrawide screens. This also means that the title of repositories with longer names gets clipped, while there would be ample space on the UI for them.

Can you make the box extend a bit more, if there is space? It could have a minimum and maximum width if you prefer, but making it extend a little bit when the Window is wide would be very useful, seeing the full repository name should be pretty important.

My first thought was to try the macOS standard View > Customize Toolbar… command to remove any Flexible Space placeholders that are often used to center things like this in Safari and other default apps, but this menu item is unfortunately disabled.

Comments in #1774 & #1876 suggest that's a deliberate workaround for a macOS bug.
