Steps to Reproduce

1. Open any repository source in the UI
2. select a source code file -> click on the commit history dropdown

Expected Results

the list of commits/commit history of a file is shown

Actual Results

Commit history times out and fails to load in the UI

Workaround

• View the file history from a locally cloned copy of the repo

$ git log --follow -- <absolute file path>
