Show file diffs when a commit is selected in history #5

Closed

Description

@skoonin

Summary

When a commit is selected in the history / commit list on the left, show the diffs of the files changed in that commit directly, rather than requiring a click into each file one at a time.

Desired behavior

  • Selecting a commit surfaces its changed files and their diffs in the detail panel.
  • Ideally a continuous/stacked diff of all files in the commit, consistent with the working-copy local-changes experience.

Scope / open questions

  • Applies to the history view and the sidebar recent-commits block.
  • Decide whether to reuse the existing multi-file (stacked) diff presentation for commit contents.

Follow-up PR targets develop.

    Implemented in #8 (merged to develop): selecting a commit in History now shows all its file diffs as one stacked, scrollable view; single/multi file selection narrows it. Will reach master with the next release.
