Description kirillkh 2007-03-15 14:14:16 UTC 
I frequently miss a way to open certain revision in a separate editor tab, when
looking at it in the Search History window in Diff mode. 

1. search history of a file or group of files
2. switch to the Diff mode (instead of Summary mode)
3. expand a file node
4. right-click a revision: I expect the menu to contain a "View revision X.X"
item, but it isn't there

Such menu item is present in the Summary mode, and I often find myself switching
there just to open the selected revision in a new tab. Although in Diff mode you
can see the revision's source code in the diff split pane, this often is not
convenient, because:
1. you might want to leave the revision open for future reference and meanwhile
move on to doing something else with the Search History window
2. the source code can be too long and/or wide for the split pane
3. the diff markup can be distracting, if you are simply trying to read the code
of this revision instead of comparing it with another

Can be done to 6.0.

View Revision now works in both Diff and Summary views.
