Even if they have taken UI cues from elsewhere, I don't think this is a bad one. The search box is in the global context section and it's important to signal that it's going to behave in a non-global way. Having a flexible width text input or making it expand over the 'This Repository' hint (or whatever other context hint is there at the time) would be an easy solve for it being too small.
