Filter branch with exact string
Description
Some of our clients have a large number of branches that are sorted numerically, then alphabetically. This does not always return the most relevant result, for example the user might search for develop
and the following order will be returned:
1111-develop
2222-develop
bugfix-develop
...
develop
Where it would be most intuitive to return develop
as the first result.
Proposal
Allow user to match exact branch in dropdown and branch filter
