Martin H. commented on NETBEANS-5411:
-------------------------------------

The suggestion actually makes sense.

Let's suppose that there are two projects, each one on different branch, with 
files being edited, from both of them.

Although with _Show Versioning Labels_ enabled, the branch for each project is 
visible, it may become confusing which one is the branch of the file currently 
being edited, especially in the following cases:
 # Same file names in both projects. (e.g. if these are two Node.js projects, 
there should be two _package.json_ files for sure)
 # Project pane is currently not visible.  (either minimized, or the _Services_ 
tab selected)

In the aforementioned context it might be also convenient to have the project 
name in the status bar as well.

Plus, people that are coming from VSCode, IntelliJ, etc. are accustomed to have 
the branch in the status bar and possibly would appreciate it.

> One option to display the current branch on we are working, would be great.

> There is a plugin, but this has not been updated since a while and this is a 
> basic build-in feature that NetBeans definitely should have.
