"Find" string in unloaded commits

Open Chrismettal opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

The "Find" feature is awesome to either find commits mentioning a specific issue number or looking for a specific commit hash.

In very large repositories with thousands of commits, where it is impractical to set the "Initial Load" number to the size of the repo, the find feature will only look in the loaded subset of all commits, possibly making it look like the issue number you were searching for was never mentioned in any commit.

The find feature could, as long as no results have been found, continue searching in a full git log of the repo in the background, and if a hit is found, load commits more commits to the graph view until the found one is displayed.
