Subject: [PATCH] git-gui: Make push remote combobox full width
Message-ID: <20171211004848.13048-1-git.user@urbanec.net>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20171211004848.13048-1-git.user%40urbanec.net

```
When pushing changes, the Remote combobox for the Destination Repository
does not take all available space in the layout. With long remote names,
this causes the combobox to have truncated entries even though there is
room to display them.

Anchor the remote_m combobox to both left and right edges of the grid
cell and use the same padding as url_t for a consistent, dynamic layout.

Just wondering if I submitted this patch correctly and to the right place.

You sent it to the right place. Unfortunately, Pat hasn't been around
much lately, so the git-gui project is apparently slumbering.

Junio has accepted a few patches for git-gui recently[1,2,3]; whether
he's interested in doing the same for your patch is unknown.
