Improve history overview

[weihwang]

Proposal for full width tabbed history view, which is related to how we may think about push/pull actions. We need a more detailed higher level view of where the latest changes are in local/remote branches. Fly-out full detail on mouse-over provides an easier "browse" experience. Adding a link at the bottom of a default 10 item list gives users a link to the full log if needed.

I was thinking that it might be very cool you you could select two nodes in the history to view the diff between them.

I put a similar response in #244, what is the upside of fly-out versus just expanding/collapsing each history field?

[weihwang]

@tgeorgeux I think inline expansion would not provide an opportunity to browse via a hover action. I was trying to reduce the amount of clicking to view more details. This is already addressed by revealing more information per history summary.

If we go inline, I think we should only trigger onClick of the summary block. One upside I see for inline could be multiple expansions so you can review more than one commit detail at time. We wouldn't get that with onHover.

I definately agree with the onclick. I think the fly-out as an overview has merit, but the interactions should stay within the sidebar. @dhirschfeld , I think that diff idea is a great idea! Can you open a separate issue with the 'enhancement' tag, so we can track where this is at and will be in the existing milestones without losing that suggestion?
