Clicking the option "Show history" for a document requires a lot of patience, as the retrieval of the history of a document sometimes takes 50 seconds. This is quite frustrating and could definetely be improved, however, this idea is about the blocking pop-up "Retrieving History" before the results are shown:
It would be very convenient if I could cancel this process, because I accidentally clicked it or don't need the change history anymore. This would save me lots of time!
We're taking a two-step approach here. Step 1 is being implemented, step 2 is on the roadmap but not concretely planned yet.
For step 2 we're in the early design phase which means we're conducting user interviews to validate the direction and early mock-ups. The actual planning of the feature is not determined yet, as other features like "quick branch switching" and "visual diffing between commits" are also in high-demand.
Fully agree. This has never been fast, but it seems to take ages since the migration to GIT.
Would even be better if the popup was not blocking at all.
