Is there a way to change the width of items in the IntelliJ status bar (esp, current git branch)
I know I can hover over an item and get a hint or click an item to see the current checkout, but I often commit and I need to close the commit window to see the branch name (to check which branch I'm on.)
My company dictates branch names; I cannot make them small enough to fit.
In the above case, the full branch name is "feature / TS-1234-outbound", and this is especially the case for "TS-1234" which I need to see.

As far as I know, no. However, there is an open problem for this problem that has top priority. So feel free to vote for it or leave a comment so that it will hopefully get fixed quickly.
As a workaround, you can associate multiple keyboard shortcuts with the Branches pop-up menu to be able to see the current branch name without hovering over the Git line widgets:
