Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?

Describe the feature you'd like
Currently the changelog field is quite cramped to a single line text input which makes it hard to provide more that 5 words.
While the field is meant to be small to encourage succinct changelog messages (since they're displayed in tabular form) I think a better UX would be a larger text area field with a text limit indicator.
Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users
A less awkward editing experience when filling the changelog message.
Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?
Only via JS/theme hackery to alter the input.
Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?
How long have you been using BookStack?
1 to 5 years
Additional context
This issue was raised on the behalf of a BookStack support customer via ticket 132

Hey Dan, this looks like a nice small improvement - I’d like to take it up. I’ll submit a PR against development, updating the input to a textarea with a character limit indicator. Let me know if you have any design preferences or constraints before I proceed!

Thanks @shresthkapoor7, My only request is that is that it still remains relatively compact, but still just a bit more than what is provided right now.
