History Tab

The History tab is added to the Version Control tool window on invoking the Show History command for a file or directory through the menu of a particular VCS. A new tab is created for each file or directory, with the name File <name> History. The set of toolbar buttons differs slightly depending on your version control systems.

All commands available from the toolbar are also available from the context menu of a selection.
