Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

My company requires commit messages have a certain format and a link to a ticket number which I usually encode into the branch name for reference. My issue is I start a commit and then need info from the branch name, which is obscured by the commit text input box, so I have to ESC out of the commit to see what I need, load it into short term memory, then start the commit message again.

Describe the solution you'd like

If the commit input box could be just like 2 lines lower on the screen, that would solve this.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Or branch name could go somewhere else. Most Git UIs put the branch name in a fairly prominent location toward the top left of the UI somewhere.

Additional context

Just a nice to have that seems maybe not super difficult (unless the terminal UI widget library makes it hard which would be sad).
