Long branch name is double truncated

See original GitHub issue

As of #3357 we’re supposed to be doing fancy middle truncation. But it looks like we’re really doing double truncation 🤔

The branch name is ignore-menu-events-when-modal-showing.

I don’t think we got to the branch switcher (which is the original screenshot rather than what was updated in #3598). Is that right @niik?

Yeah, that’s right. There were unexpected complications with putting the path truncation strategy to use in the branch button so we reverted it. I think we should close this up, the underlying problem is sufficiently captured in https://github.com/desktop/desktop/issues/4177 and the discussion in the original PR https://github.com/desktop/desktop/pull/3269#issuecomment-344648587 so I’m going to close this one out

Should this be closed now that #3598 is merged?
