Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I have some issues with reading and so sometimes it can be hard for me to easily see which popup window in neogit is doing what. An example is the difference between :Neogit push and :Neogit pull – it can be very difficult to see the difference between them sometimes.

Describe the solution you'd like A header at the top of all of Neogit windows that says clearly what context it is. At the top of for example :Neogit push it would be great if it just said GIT PUSH or something similar.

Describe alternatives you've considered Making this customizable somehow by using a local statusline? I don't know exactly.

Thanks a lot for making this wonderful plugin <3

Research direction
Investigate how Neovim floating windows are created in the codebase, find the popup window creation functions, and add a header title to each popup. Consider making it customizable via configuration.
