Description Steffen Pingel CLA 2011-08-16 10:29:33 EDT 
The path decoration in the repositories view takes up a lot of horizontal space. If the view is narrow it pushes the branch label out of the visible area hiding useful information (see screenshot)

Once a repository is cloned or imported the path never changes while I find myself frequently checking out branches. Knowing which branch is checked out is much more important to me than the repository location which almost never changes after a repository is cloned.

I suggest to swap the path and branch decoration.
